Lagom: The Swedish Secret of Living Well

Perfect for fans of The Little Book of Hygge and Norwegian Wood, find the balance in life that is just right for you. Let Lola A. Akerstroem, Editor-in-chief of Slow Travel Stockholm, be your companion to all things lagom.

As the Swedish proverb goes, 'Lagom ar bast' (The right amount is best). Lagom sums up the Swedish psyche and is the reason why Sweden is one of the happiest countries in the world with a healthy work-life balance and high standards of living.

Lagom is a way of living that promotes harmony. It celebrates fairness, moderation and being satisfied with and taking proper care of what you've got, including your well-being, relationships, and possessions. It's not about having too little or too much but about fully inviting contentment into our lives through making optimal decisions.

Who better than Lola A. Akerstroem to be your lagom guide?
