A Review of "Live Lagom"


This is one of those books that you're going to want on your coffee table.   Part self -help, part cook book, and part photography compilation,  this book is sure to be a conversation starter.  The pictures inside are cultured and simple, but warm and inviting.  The recipes are equally so.

 The author of this book, Anna Brones, grew up with Swedish parents, so she understands the positives and negatives of Lagom and offers a well balanced perspective.  To live lagom in work, home,  health,  and your environment is to live sustainably in moderation.  "Just enough."

I thought that the chapter on work would be irrelevant to me as a stay-at-home-mama.  Instead, I found the contrast of cultural understandings of time and efficiency to be so fascinating!

I recommend purusing this book. Appealing to the eye, educational, and very practical, it is worth the read.

I received my copy free from Bloggingforbooks.com in exchange for writing this honest review.  All opinions are my own.
