Nordic Wisdom - Simplify Your Life and Cultivate Well-Being

Take inspiration from the HAPPIEST countries in the world and live a more BALANCED, HEALTHY, and PEACEFUL life.

The Nordic approach to life has captured our imaginations and it's easy to see why—from the Danish embrace of cozy living (hygge) to the Swedish emphasis on balance and simplicity (lagom). In this beautifully illustrated guide, Elisabeth Carlsson, a Swede who has lived in the UK for many years, shares the key elements and philosophies of the Nordic lifestyle.

Explore the core values that shape Nordic well-being, from creating harmony between work and home life to staying strong in the face of adversity. Delve into traditional outdoorsy activities, like wild swimming, hiking, and foraging, and find inspiration in Nordic cuisine, focusing on simple, seasonal ingredients. Embracing nature is another vital aspect of the Nordic way of life: learn how connecting with your surroundings can bring peace and balance, even during long, dark winters.

Filled with practical ideas and thoughtful insights, Nordic Wisdom offers a clear path to a healthier, happier way of living.
