Counting Sheep

Reflections and Observations of a Swedish Shepherd · Axel Lindén

Lindén’s brief observations follow the move from academic city life to a family farm in Sweden. Sheep, wood, machinery and weather are not picturesque scenery; they repeatedly interrupt theories about simplicity with needs of their own. Placed after The Lagom Life, the book changes the question from how balance is described to how attention is practised when other living things depend on it.
