Lagom is the Swedish art of living a balanced life and this book covers lots of different areas that you can apply the practice to. For example, work-life balance, health and wellbeing, friends and even sustainable living.

visually, it's a beautiful book and the hardback copy is particularly lovely. There's some great illustration to be inspired by. Outside of the visuals though, it is just as lovely. In a world obsessed with consumerism and overconsumption having 'just enough' is a nice idea to consider. It's also a good thing to remember when you're starting to feel burned out from obsessing over that promotion, that deadline or worrying about how you're going to afford that new iphone that costs an arm and a leg.

This book if full of handy tips and tricks and is another good read for when you only have a few minutes a day to dip in and out of something.

If you want to give it a look, check it out from the AUP Library! You can find it in the section 158.1 DUN
