- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jackson & Larsen’s Little Book of Lagom is all about learning to live in simplicity. Lagom is a Swedish word that means 'just the right amount’. I loved the sidebar explanation for how it possibly came about, deriving from the phrase 'laget om’ or 'around the team’, used by Vikings. Lagom is a concept that can be incorporated into any and all aspects of your life, helping you to find enjoyment in simplicity. There are four parts, a conclusion, and a resources chapter. Part One looks at incorporating Lagom into the home, with subsections dedicated to the kitchen and the garden. Part Two focuses on diet, Part Three on work/life , and the final part covers your needs versus the needs of the many, and how to balance them. This as a quick read, and a good introduction to this Swedish notion of 'just enough’.***Many thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
