Everything is “just right” in Sweden
It is “Lagom”
How would you like your steak cooked? Lagom
How is the weather? Lagom
How much did you sleep last night? Lagom
How fast did you drive? Lagom
How old are you? Lagom
Lagom is something very Swedish
It is difficult to grasp for foreigners
Not too much
Not too little
Just enough
It applies to situations as much as people
You should not be too good in Sweden
You should be just good enough
That brings us to something else which is very Scandinavian
Jantelagen or "The Law of Jante"
"The Swedes" and "Working with Swedes" present many of the unknown social rules in Sweden
