Finland, Cultural Lone Wolf is the story of an accomplished nation and her extraor-dinary people. Pursuing a “Lone Wolf”, Finland raised itself from a struggling, war-battered state in 1945 to one of the most developed countries in the world. The exponential rise of Nokia from tire and timbers to leading the world's telecommunica-tion industry is indicative of the Finns and their characteristic business style. These remarkable people speak a language unique in its origins and have kept their cultural identity intact despite the influences of powerful neighbors, Sweden and Russia .

Uniquely qualified to write about Finland , best-selling author Richard Lewis traces the fascinating Finnish origins, as well as her history, geography, values and culture. His extensive experience with Finnish business provides him with keen insight on leadership style, negotiation strategies and the uniguely Finnish suomi-kuva ( Finland image). And Lewis shines when describing Finnish humor, complete with hilarious jokes and stories. Finland , Cultural Lone wolf shows a nation and a writer at their best.
