Hygge, the Danish concept of comfort, has taken the world by storm in the last few years. We have all been seduced by Scandi lifestyle concepts either through social media or TV shows. What this quick start guide will do is introduce you to another lesser known Scandi concept of Lagom, or as it’s often translated "just enough is the right amount". Let’s face it, we lead very wasteful lives. We buy too much; we consume too much; and as a result we ultimately throw away too much! Owning too much and throwing too much away makes us feel unhappy, whether we realize this or not.

Lagom is a Swedish idea of “just enough”. You learn how to live your life with not too little but not too much, either. This is the key to true success and happiness, and we are going to explore exactly how to make this happen in this guidebook. When you learn how to live with just enough rather than trying to live in excess and worrying about how much debt you are in or how much you have to work all of the time, you can live a life that is much happier.

Lagom is used to describe the perfect state when something is neither too much, nor too little. The Swedish apply lagom to most aspects of their life without thinking about it. This book will show you how lagom can be incorporated into your personal life, family, relationships, work, home, health, and well-being. Living lagom is to live a moderate life where balance is the key to success in all areas.
