The Abundance Trap: How Too Much Is Costing Us What Matters Most

BishopTalks began as an unlikely meeting between a Swedish bishop and a Swedish entrepreneur. When Bishop Lennart Koskinen and Rasmus Rossi first sat down together, their conversations quickly deepened into an ongoing exploration of ethics, meaning, leadership and the pressures of modern life.

These conversations became the foundation of BishopTalks, a dialogue-based project dedicated to bringing calm, clarity and ethical reflection into a world overloaded with speed and scarcity disguised as abundance.

From this collaboration emerged the book The Abundance Trap.

The Abundance Trap distills the most powerful insights from the BishopTalks conversations. It examines why so many people feel overwhelmed despite having more choices, more information and more opportunities than ever. Through clear, thoughtful reflections, the book offers a steadying guide for readers who want to live with more intention, depth and humanity.

Across its chapters, the book addresses questions that define a mature life: What anchors us when everything moves too fast?

How do we avoid losing ourselves in a culture obsessed with more?

What does ethical living look like in an age of distraction?

How do we cultivate inner steadiness in a world that rewards noise?

The tone is distinctly Nordic: calm, honest, spacious. Yet the themes are universal.

The Abundance Trap is not a theoretical work. It is a companion for leaders, thinkers, seekers and anyone who senses that abundance without reflection leads nowhere. It invites the reader to slow down, to see more clearly and to act with greater integrity.
