The Swedish philosophy of lagom: how “just enough” is all you need – Be more like Goldilocks.

• The idea that human desires are insatiable and that craving leads to misery is not new wisdom. It has ancient Hindu, Buddhist, and Greek roots and forms a keystone of most religions.
• Lagom is the modern, Swedish twist on an ancient idea. It means “just enough,” and it involves finding contentment in satisfaction.
• The story of Goldilocks can be interpreted as emphasizing lagom.
