Introduction

From binge-watching and buying in bulk to overtime and burnout, 21st-century life is becoming a culture of excess.

While the climate crisis underlines the need to cut consumption, many of us still struggle to minimize work and find balance in our everyday lives.

When it comes to work-life balance, minimalist spaces, and overall happiness, research shows Sweden is one of the best countries to live in.

The secret to Swedish balanced living is the concept of 'lagom': not too much, not too little.

In this book, Swedish author and expat Linnea Dunne explains how we can apply lagom principles to all aspects of life.
