Learn how the Swedish lifestyle can help you find balance and joy in just enough. And remember you don’t need to be born a Swede to live Lagom.
In this enlightening episode, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman sits down with author Kortney Yasenka to explore the transformative Swedish philosophy of "Lagom" (pronounced LAH-gom). Together they unpack how this concept of "not too much, not too little, but just right" can revolutionize our approach to life's challenges, particularly during midlife transitions. Kortney shares insights from her book, “Swedish Lagom: Finding Joy in Just Enough”, co-written with her Swedish mother, revealing how these ancient principles offer surprising solutions to modern problems from digital overwhelm to family dynamics.
Every year, Sweden and other Nordic countries are listed as the happiest on earth. Why? They practice lagom. Kortney Yasenka is the author of the book “Swedish Lagom: Finding Joy In Just Enough”.
