DIS – Study Abroad
“Not too much, not too little.” That’s the definition of the Swedish word lagom. It is not just a word though; lagom is a life approach.
Hear DIS Stockholm faculty member Maria Carlsson speak about her interpretation of lagom, and see how this plays out into Swedish scenery.

🤩👍💖
that's a balanced amount of cake? this lagom seems to be the most evolved culture (to the point where you can have real communism)
Lagom is the one of the biggest reasons I as an Indian fell in love with the scandinavian countries. I absolutely adore the culture. As an Indian growing up in a hustle culture and state of mind, I've seen too many adults dissatisfied from life and hustling to achieve more materialism. I don't quite agree with that. I believe in minimalism and lagom.
thats so cool! Love from China ❤️
You the insane nation i live in Israel here almost every buddy in zombies mode want to force everything
I try to be Lagom, that's why I only watched one video about Lagom
