Discover the secret to a happier, more balanced life with the Swedish philosophy of lagom
In today’s fast-paced and often chaotic world, the Swedish concept of lagom offers a lifeline, guiding readers to focus on what truly matters. Swedish Lagom: Finding Joy in Just Enough is the essential guide to living a balanced, fulfilling life.
Sweden consistently ranks among the happiest countries in the world, and many attribute this to their uniquely balanced lifestyle. At the heart of this lifestyle is lagom, which literally translates to “just the right amount.” Swedish Lagom delves into this philosophy, offering bite-sized facts, engaging anecdotes, and practical tips to help readers incorporate lagom into their daily lives.
Kortney Yasenka and her mother Karen Johnson Yasenka’s insightful exploration of lagom in the book through their authentic experiences and memories offers a refreshing perspective on finding balance and contentment in life.
