ulrika sandén, hans thulesius och lars harrysson Nuets förnöjsamhetEn grundad teori om livsval och överlevnadsstrategier Contentment in the moment "Contentment in the moment" is a classic grounded theory exploring safety and contentment within a small community in northern Norway . The purpose of the study was to explore the village's everyday life from a participant's perspective and to develop an understanding of their living conditions . We found different survival strategies, which have their roots in the village's history of poverty, isolation and harsh climate . Today these strategies have changed from a matter of life and death to a modern psychosocial foundation of contentment . The study is based on four and a half years of observations, in-depth interviews and informal but focused conversations with people living in Polarfjorden . The data was analysed using the constant comparative method of classic grounded theory . In this article we further relate our work to more general sociological theory, more specifically to Charles Tilly's work on reason and routines .
