What is Lagom?

Lagom is a Swedish word with no equivalent to English, but we can understand it as “not too much, not too little, just the right amount.” However, it is a lifestyle philosophy that encompasses the ideas of moderation, balance, and equality more than just a word. It is about walking the line between not too much and not too little and finding out what feeling content is all about. Taking pauses during the workday, eating moderately, treating people respectfully and kindly, appreciating your surroundings are part of genuinely experiencing the Lagom lifestyle.
