Publisher Description
Do you aspire to live a more peaceful, intentional life of mindfulness, positivity, and gratitude?
Njuta (pronounced “nyutah”), which means “enjoy” or “delight in,” is the Swedish art of savoring the moment. Focused on finding happiness in even the smallest things, njuta can be applied to every area of life:
Daily ritualsCreating a comfortable homeNature and friluftsliv (open-air life)Meal times and fika (coffee breaks) Adapting to the seasonsCelebrations with family and friends
From relishing a quiet moment of comfort to enjoying the beauty of nature or even just reveling in the deliciousness of a favorite snack, you too can do like the Swedes and open your eyes to all of life’s pleasures, no matter how simple.
Niki Brantmark, founder of the popular blog My Scandinavian Home, offers easy-to-follow how-to’s, practical lists of tips and tricks, and unique insights into the most fascinating aspects of Swedish culture, from morning dips to Christmas crafting. Njuta is the ultimate guide to rejoicing in the moment, anytime and anywhere.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the amiable follow-up to Lagom, My Scandinavian Home blogger Brantmark aims to help readers njuta, or "savor a suspended moment in time without pressure or demand." According to the author, one can njuta while exercising, eating, working, being in nature, or sitting in "companionable silence" with a friend. Interspersed throughout are recipes and descriptions of Swedish holidays, from Midsommar to St. Lucia's Day, a winter festival in honor of a Sicilian saint that can be celebrated from afar by baking "lightly sweet saffron buns." While some of the author's suggestions may be less-than-feasible for those who lack snowy forests through which to cross-country ski, natural bodies of water in which to bathe, and the "up to forty-one paid days off annually" that Swedes get to "do what they like," Brantmark provides manageable alternatives, including taking daily 15-minute walks or tending to houseplants. Her reminder to "focus on what you have rather than what you don't have" resonates, even if readers may be hard-pressed to do so while pining after the good life in Sweden. This is ideal for stressed-out readers seeking new ways to slow down.
