Crossing The Borders - Psychotherapy Of Schizophrenia [Bok / Inbunden]

Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word 'lag', which means 'law'.<br/><br/>Far from restrictive, lagom is a liberating concept, praising the idea that anything more than 'just enough' is a waste of time. Crucially it also comes with a selflessness and core belief of responsibility and common good.

Uncover the secrets of the Swedish philosophy of life called Lagom - meaning 'just enough'. At its core is the idea that we can strike a healthy balance with the world around us without having to make extreme changes, and without denying ourselves anything. This delightful book, written by Niki Brantmark, founder and curator of the award winning interior design blog, My Scandinavian Home, gives a taste of the philosophy behind Lagom and shows how to include some of the principles into our daily lives. Inspirational and fun ideas to help you achieve balance, well being and a more sustainable existence. The book is divided into three sections. Introducing Lagom to your personal life includes ideas for decluttering your home, conscious buying and embracing 'slow design'. At work take time to balance your day with a proper lunchbreak and a gadget free Sabbath, while outdoor staycations in remote settings can offer relaxation you never knew possible! Lagom at home and with our families explains the art of simple pleasures - bring a dish entertaining at home, of shared craft activities with our children and less stressed homework time! And finally there's Lagom in the wider world and the principles of living sustainably - as IKEA have pledged in their Live Lagom campaign -make some small changes like using LED lightbulbs, taking shorter showers and upcycling and you are living a Lagom life, a rewarding but responsible life; not denying yourself or sacrificing what you love, while not taking from the planet more than you need. It's just the right amount!

<b>A thoughtful exploration of integrating Buddhist principles into modern life and work.</b><br/><br/> Written as a dialogue between a businessperson and a temple priest, the book bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. Through mindful listening, daily practices, and a focus on interconnection, it provides practical guidance on achieving balance, purpose, and peace amidst life's noise. Readers are invited to reflect on the meaning of happiness, the value of relationships, and how small, mindful acts can lead to profound change.<br/><br/> Written in a reflective, conversational tone, Matsumoto blends the storytelling approach of a dialogue between two characters-a businessperson and a temple priest-with practical insights. The narrative is deeply rooted in Buddhist philosophy, yet it is simplified and contextualized for a modern audience, especially those engaged in professional and urban life. The author uses vivid imagery, anecdotes, and analogies to make abstract spiritual concepts accessible and to illustrate how mindfulness, interconnectedness, and simplicity can be implemented by anyone seeking balance between work and personal well-being. The inclusion of real-world practices like mindful listening, cleaning, and gratitude rituals makes the book practical, not just philosophical.<br/><br/><i>Work Like a Monk </i>beautifully bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. It is a practical guide to achieving balance, purpose and peace amidst life's noise.
