I went through burnout and lost touch with my creativity. While travelling and resting, I began asking other creatives how they stay inspired. I realised we need tools to support creativity as a way of life, not just a career.

It’s a flexible framework inspired by the archipelago forests where I grew up in Finland. The five inputs - Connection, Wonder, Pause, Movement and Joy - help creatives sustain energy, purpose, and emotional resilience.

Anyone whose work depends on creative energy, from freelancers and students to studio leaders and brand strategists. Whether you’re stuck, burned out, or just looking to re-energise, this book is a gentle and practical guide.

Happiness isn’t about constant positivity. It’s about being attuned to yourself, even in difficult seasons. The Creative Wellbeing Handbook encourages a slower, more honest kind of joy; grounded in self-connection and creative flow.
