Just the Right Amount of Lagom: 7 Books to Help You Achieve Balance

Lagom can clearly be seen through the eating style of the Swedes. The best-selling milk in Sweden is not whole or skim, but 1.5% milk. Just enough fat content to keep everybody happy and full.

According to the New Yorker, "the term is said to come from the Viking phrase laget om, or 'around the team,' meaning that you should take only a sip of the mead that's being passed around so that no one is left without."

At its essence, Lagom suggests that people live a life of moderation, balance, and sustainability and avoid excess or gluttonous behavior. Where better to exhibit this style than in the kitchen?
