Lecture
Life Balance and the Swedish Philosophy of Lagom
​& Fika
by Janice Peterson Hincapie

When planning a trip to Sweden for the first time in 2023, Jan became interested in Lagom, a life philosophy taught to many Swedes early in life. This fell in line with over a decade of research regarding life balance, a concern for so many individuals in the US. Lagom is rooted in harmony, moderation, and sustainability. The mantra she frequently heard was “Not too much, not too little, just right!” During her time in Sweden, Jan interviewed individuals about what Lagom meant to them and observed it firsthand. She will discuss how incorporating Lagom into our lives as Americans can lead to a happier, more productive existence, improved relationships, and greater joy in all we do.
