About this title

Synopsis:

Synopsis:

An exploration of the integral relationship between nature and personal development and how this manifests itself in the Scandinavian lifestyle - from outdoor life and relaxation to design, cuisine, gardening and herbalism. "On My Swedish Island" is a rich collection of ideas about how we can improve our quality of life with a fresh philosophy that is Nordic-inspired, but which can be used in any climate. Part memoir and part self-help book, "On My Swedish Island" combines the story of the author's transformation, from urban jetsetter to wife and mother living on a small Swedish island, with practical suggestions for living a simpler, more fulfilling existence. Julie Catterson Lindahl is a writer on well-being in Scandinavia and the owner of Wellness of Scandinavia AB. A former Fulbright Scholar, she lives with her husband and twins, a son and a daughter, on an inspirational island just off the coast of Stockholm, Sweden.
