There's a word the Swedes use to describe a life that feels measured and whole. A cup filled but never overflowing. A home that feels calm, not crowded. A pace that lets you breathe. That word is lagom.
This field guide is your practical companion to living with more balance, rhythm, and intention. It’s drawn from Swedish culture, grounded in happiness research, and filled with unfussy rituals you can start today.
Inside, you'll find 14 chapters exploring lagom in every corner of life: from how you design your home and eat your meals to how you work, rest, gather with others, and spend your time online. Each chapter includes reflection prompts, simple rituals, and ideas you can try immediately.
You'll also find five original recipes inspired by Swedish food traditions, from a silky root vegetable soup to oat and cardamom shortbread, because nourishment isn't just a metaphor. It belongs on the plate, too.
This is the first book in the Story Feast Field Guides: a series exploring cultural philosophies of happiness from around the world. A new Field Guide arrives on the 1st of every month, each exploring a different tradition. Future guides will cover Ubuntu, Wabi Sabi, Hygge, Ikigai, Nunchi, and more. Lagom is where it begins.
Pre-order now. Your field guide will be delivered to your inbox on April 1st.
