Swedish Lagom: Finding Joy in Just Enough by Kortney Yasenka (Author), Karen Johnson Yasenka (Author)
was something my family knew nothing about but since reading Swedish Lagom and learning Finding Joy in Just Enough is something we can all do I can’t wait to practice it in my home. Charlie and David liked how the Author introduces the Swedish philosophy of balance, simplicity, and “just the right amount to everyone no, matter there age.
”The Authors also provides simple, actionable tips that made it easy to integrate the principles of lagom into my families daily life, through minimalism, and creating balance at home, allowing us to find joy in moderation, work, relationships, and most importantly self-care.
