About this listen

National Bestseller

When Sanna Marin became Prime Minister of Finland at just thirty-four years old, she captivated the world’s attention with her progressive ideas and her bold leadership and “proved that good leadership does not depend on age” (Time100 Next).

In her powerful memoir Hope in Action, Sanna shares the extraordinary journey of her trailblazing career, and her vision for a new kind of leadership.

Sanna has been praised for her “hardiness, resilience and a can-do attitude” (Vogue) and her story is one of resilience and hope. The first in her family to attend university, she broke barriers to become a global icon of progressive leadership. Her term as prime minister—the youngest world leader at that time—saw historic milestones, as she led Finland through the COVID-19 pandemic, and her government implemented reforms addressing climate change, social justice, and equality. She helped the country navigate neighboring Russia’s devastating full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and Finland’s rapid joining of NATO.

Through vivid retellings of her experiences, Marin shares how she overcame significant political challenges, and how she coped with her personal life becoming public, including the incident that sparked a media frenzy and prompted women around the world to express their support.

Hope in Action is much more than a memoir—it’s a “rallying cry” (Hillary Rodham Clinton). Sanna urges the next generation of leaders to bring their full, authentic selves to the job. Her story is an empowering testament to the opportunities we have to affect real change in our worlds.
