About this item
The author of the popular Lagom introduces another Scandinavian concept - njuta (pronounced "nyutah") , the Swedish art of consciously appreciating everyday experiences, that embodies the idea "to enjoy, to delight in, to savor a moment.""Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more; and all good things are yours." - Swedish proverbThe Danes taught us how to embrace coziness and contentment. Now, the Swedes show us how to pause and savor the moment, to njuta, a philosophy closely tied to Swedish life and culture. Deeply ingrained in the Swedish psyche, njuta is about simplicity and intent in every aspect of life, from daily routines and leisure to family and food and everything in between.
