Are you familiar with the Swedish word/concept "lagom"?
- AlbertCory 4y agoI was going to ask, but I do now: https://utopia.org/guide/lagom/ https://utopia.org/guide/lagom/
- thenerdhead 4y agoI had not. I wish I did when I was writing this book as it is a great word. I have heard of "moderation" (stoicism), "goldilocks" (fairy tales), balancing yin-yang (daoism/confucianism), middle way (buddhism), golden mean (aristotle), etc. I've heard of wabi-sabi recently which seems like a similar idea in Japan.
