This book was easy-to-read and fun. Has some really awesome tips to incorporate Lagom in your everyday life. I enjoyed reading it!

This book is a grab-bag of lifestyle tips from someone who has lived in Sweden for several years. It's a pretty little book, but it doesn't go too deep. It feels a bit like paging through a magazine. There are lots of boxes and lists about how to bring nature inside your home, how to manage your time, how to interact with your family, how to reduce your carbon footprint, etc. A lot of it is, honestly, common sense stuff about living with moderation and giving thought to your home and schedule instead of just mindlessly consuming.
I didn't think it was a life-changing book or anything, but just paging through the clean, bright pages that talk about simplicity and contentment and coziness made for a happy couple of hours.

Nice, informative book about a different country's perspective on living more simply and slowly and enjoying life. Something I've been desperately craving as of late.

Nothing new that the book of hygge or any other book of cozy living doesn’t address. Flipped through various chapters but not compelled to finish the book in its entirety.

Nice bite sized advice, a transplant's perspective, balance of advice and stories

This book is a nice introduction into Swedish values around lagom. I enjoyed the first section about lagom in personal life, then got bored in the latter two sections. It would have been nice to have more Swedish-specific information rather than turning into a sustainability and self-help book (both of which are good but not what I expected).
