LARS HAUGEN · THE NORWEGIAN WAY
A note from Lars
“An ordinary home can be a very good life.”

I grew up in a small valley in western Norway, in a house my father warmed with wood he cut himself. My grandmother ran the household on rules nobody ever wrote down.

After thirteen years in Minneapolis, I came home with a clearer understanding of what those habits had given us: fewer things to look after, less money wasted, and more room to live.

These books put that way of living into words. The thinking first. Then the small, practical rules that make it work.

Book one · The Norwegian Way

A little less stuff.
A lot more life.

A warm home through the dark months. Good food without a crowded pantry. Children who spend more time outdoors. An evening that does not need filling.

The Norwegian Way explores the everyday choices behind all of it—and shows how you can bring those habits home.

  • Koselig: warmth and comfort without more clutter
  • Friluftsliv: making the outdoors part of everyday life
  • Food, money, family, work, and the changing seasons
