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 proverb
The 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. The Swedish delight in the simple things in life. They see greatness in the small things—it doesn’t take grand gestures or vast amounts of money to make life not only okay but truly wonderful. Simple pleasures are all around us and can be found in every minute and every hour of the day. You just have to stop, use your senses, and take time to consciously appreciate what’s already there. That is the essence of njuta.
