Njuta: Enjoy, Delight In: The Swedish Art of Savoring the Moment by Niki Brantmark

 



My Rating:  4.2

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 rituals Creating a comfortable home Nature and friluftsliv (open-air life) Meal times and fika (coffee breaks) Adapting to the seasons Celebrations 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.


Maybe it is the fact that I have been blessed to live in European countries but I didn't find anything profound in this book. That being said, it was a good reminder to not let work swallow me up and to make the time for those little wonderful breaks that are the things you will remember about your day.
