Lagom

This audiobook introduces the concept of LAGOM, the Swedish belief in "not too little, not too much" or "just right." (There's no exact translation.) Narrator Ana Clements's British voice sounds friendly and inviting as she explains that LAGOM is possible in all aspects of life--in one's personal life and relationships, and in the wider world. Parts of this audiobook seem an odd mash-up of THE LITTLE BOOK OF HYGGE and THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP--many suggestions and tips don't seem new. Sounding engaged and happy, Clements breathes life into the book's many lists of suggestions, tips, and descriptions of DIY projects. Clements even paces DIY lists of tools at the tempo you'd need if you were writing them down, also without sounding tedious. J.C.G. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
