NOTES

In a fast-paced world, wouldn't it be wonderful if you could slow down and enjoy a life with less pressure, less stress, and more time for the things you love? Sweden is ranked in the top three of the world's happiest places to live, and lagom, which means "not too much and not too little-just right," is the Swedish philosophy for enjoying balance in every aspect of life-from work and leisure to family and food, and everything in between. Experienced bakers know by touch when the dough they are kneading is lagom-not too moist and not too dry. At the office, professionals who work hard-but not to the detriment of other parts of their lives-are following the lagom ideal. Lagom is moderation, balance, and equality. By using the Swedish lifestyle as an example, Niki Brantmark offers insightful suggestions and bite-sized actions to help you make subtle changes to your life, so you too can make time for the things that matter most and find greater happiness
