Njuta : enjoy, delight in : the Swedish art of savoring the moment / by Brantmark, Niki,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Derived from the old Swedish word "niuta", the concept of "njuta" is a deeply held philosophy closely tied to Swedish cultural and social ideology. Njuta is believed to have originated with Viking culture, and to have evolved from the old Norse word "njota" which means to enjoy, to keep, to use. Deeply ingrained in the Swedish psyche, njuta is about simplicity and intentionalism in every aspect of life-from work and leisure to family and food and everything in between. The Swedish are masters at gleaning delight from the simple things in life. It is the small things in which greatness lies and it does not take grand gestures or vast amounts of money to believe that life is not only okay but truly wonderful. What the Swedish understand is that simple pleasures are all around us, every minute, every hour of the day. You just have to stop, tap into your senses, and take time to consciously appreciate them. You need to "njuta"! In this inviting, inspirational, illustrated guide, Niki Brantmark explains njuta and how to incorporate it into your own lifestyle. In the home, take time to savor that first sip of coffee in the morning. Relish a quiet moment while everyone is out - just you, in a cozy corner by the window in silence. In nature, enjoy the landscape, the silence, the dappled sunlight over the snowy tracks, your breath forming clouds in the frigid air. Njuta might be as simple as deciding to stop mid-step and angle your face up to the sun to soak up its wonderful warmth, or feel the wind in your hair as you cycle to work. This guide will also help you discover njuta in moments spent with your friends and family, and moments spent with yourself. With this beautifully designed, idea-filled guide, you can learn to relax and consciously enjoy a moment in time no matter how small"--
