About this ebook

Danes have hygge.  Swedes have lagom.  But the Finns have the best - "kalsariokanni" or pantsdrunk – drinking at home, alone, in your underwear.

When it comes to happiness rankings, Finland always scores near the top.  Many Finnish phenomena set the bar high: the best education system, gender equality, a flourishing welfare state, sisu or bull-headed pluck.  Behind all of these accomplishments lies a Finnish ability to stay calm, healthy and content in a riptide of endless tasks and temptations.  The ability comes from the practice of "kalsarikanni" translated as pantsdrunk.

Peel off your clothes down to your underwear.  Place savory or sweet snacks within reach alongside your bed or sofa.  Make sure your television remote control is nearby along with any and all devices to access social media.  Open your preferred alcohol. Your journey toward inner strength, higher quality of life, and peace of mind has begun.


Ready to ditch the pressure and embrace true comfort, the Finnish way?


  • The Next Hygge: Move over, hygge and lagom. Learn the refreshingly honest Finnish secret to happiness that involves less curated perfection and more comfortable underwear.
  • A Guide to Staying In: An unapologetic celebration of staying home, drinking your favorite beverage, and enjoying your own company without any intention of going out.
  • Witty and Humorous: Laugh out loud with this satirical take on lifestyle trends that shows you how to find joy in simple, everyday rebellion.
  • The Art of Doing Nothing: Master the four key elements—alcohol, leisurewear, snacks, and a diversionary device—for a perfect evening of stress-free, guilt-free recovery.
