Lagom - the Swedish word for not too much, not too little - is spreading like wildfire around the world. The idea is to be consciously moderate and make your own decisions about career, clothes, travel and food, treating yourself to enjoyment, health and beauty without harming the environment.

Entertaining, witty and with a sharp eye for detail, Göran Everdahl makes the case that lagom offers the perfect balance between work and home, wholesome and overindulgent eating, levity and sobriety.

As a respected, widely read author and columnist, Everdahl covers popular culture and film. He is also a regular contributor to Swedish Public Television and Radio.
