Why did I love this book?
When I met my husbandâs family a couple of decades back, his cousin told me: âYouâll never survive a relationship with a Swede if you do not know what âLagomâ is âLagom is our way of life.â
âLagomâ could be translated as âthe right balance.â It means not too much and not too little. It can apply to work or to alcohol consumption. The Swedes often say âLagom Ă€r bĂ€st,â âLagom is bestâ.
With a great sense of humour, Everdahl sheds an interesting light on Swedish culture. Youâll never see the Vikings the same way after this read!
1 author picked The Book of Lagom as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Lagom, the Swedish word for "not too much, not too little", is spreading like wildfire around the world. The idea is to be consciously moderate and make your own decisions about career, clothes, travel and food, treating yourself to enjoyment, health and beauty without harming the environment.
