Swedish Lagom: Finding Joy in Just Enough by Kortney Yasenka and Karen Johnson Yasenka offers a warm and insightful exploration of the Swedish concept of "lagom," which translates to "just enough" or "moderation." As a retired therapist, I especially appreciate the concepts represented in the book regarding finding and practicing balance in one’s life. The book provides practical advice for integrating this balanced mindset into everyday living, seamlessly blending Swedish traditions with contemporary lifestyles. It serves as a valuable guide for those seeking to prioritize simplicity, sustainability, and contentment, reflecting the core principles of Swedish culture.
The authors delve into the essence of lagom, emphasizing that it embodies more than just minimalism or austerity; it advocates for finding satisfaction in moderation. Drawing on rich Swedish cultural traditions, they illustrate how lagom can facilitate a more fulfilled and purposeful life while promoting mindful choices in consumption and daily activities, thus enhancing personal well-being.
Another significant takeaway from the book is how lagom nurtures the development of deeper and more meaningful relationships. Swedish Lagom is perfect for readers interested in Scandinavian culture, mindfulness, and practical lifestyle improvements. It is particularly suited for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of modern life. The authors’ engaging writing style and personal reflections make this book an enjoyable read for those curious about how the Swedish approach to life can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment.
