Description
Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world, and this is attributed to one thing: hygge. The concept has been translated as everything from the art of creating intimacy to cosiness of the soul and taking pleasure in the presence of soothing things. It is the feeling of being cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, sharing comfort food with close friends or enjoying a crisp blue morning when the light through the window is just right. Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, has spent years studying the magic of Danish life and serves as a guide to all things hygge. In this inspiring book, he explains how to bring more hygge into your life, from choosing the right lighting and planning a dinner party to creating an emergency hygge kit and dressing appropriately. His research into what makes people happy has led him to conclude that hygge is the magic ingredient behind Denmark's happiness.
