Why do Swedes seem so good at relaxing… while Americans struggle to slow down?

Josh and John talk about one of the biggest differences between Swedish and American culture: summer, vacation, planning, and productivity.

Josh shares why this is the first summer in 8 years that his family doesn’t have every week planned out — and why that feels strangely stressful. John explains Swedish summer rhythms, spontaneity, camping culture, and why some people genuinely enjoy just “seeing what happens.”

Plus: John tries to guess the meaning of bizarre American phrases like “spill the beans,” “cold turkey,” and “break a leg.”

Are you a planner… or a go-with-the-flow person?
