Hygge - Prostě šťastný způsob života – Wiking Meik (2017)

Why are the Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer is hygge, says Meik Wiking, director of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. Hygge is the feeling you experience during a storm when you are in comfortable socks curled up on the couch, covered with a soft blanket. It’s that feeling when you sit at a candlelit table with your loved ones, enjoying your favorite food and chatting. It’s the feeling that overtakes you when, with a cup of your favorite coffee in hand, you watch the red morning light on a clear blue sky. Hygge is about atmosphere and experience. It’s about sharing with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling of safety. A feeling of inner peace and bliss. This book will offer you advice and tips on how to incorporate the know-how of the happiest nation in the world into your own life. • Get comfortable. Take a break. • Be here and now. Turn off your phones. • Dim the lights. Light some candles. • Pour yourself a glass of wine. Put on your favorite movie. • Build relationships. Make time for your loved ones. • Stop eating only and exclusively healthy. Cake is definitely hygge. • Live today as if tomorrow may never come.
