Join us for a book talk with author Kortney Yasenka as she discusses her new book releasing on February 25th 2025. You don't need to be Swedish to benefit from the principles of lagom - discover the secret to a happier, more balanced life with this Swedish philosophy.
Sweden consistently ranks among the happiest countries in the world, and many attribute this to their uniquely balanced lifestyle. At the heart of this lifestyle is the concept of lagom, which literally translates to "just the right amount."
