Summary : New York Times Bestseller Embrace Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) and become happier with this definitive guide to the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is Hygge. Loosely translated, Hygge—pronounced Hoo-ga—is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. "Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience," Wiking explains. "It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe." Hygge is the sensation you get when you’re cuddled up on a sofa, in cozy socks under a soft throw, during a storm. It’s that feeling when you’re sharing comfort food and easy conversation with loved ones at a candlelit table. It is the warmth of morning light shining just right on a crisp blue-sky day. The Little Book of Hygge introduces you to this cornerstone of Danish life, and offers advice and ideas on incorporating it into your own life, such as: Get comfy. Take a break. Be here now. Turn off the phones. Turn down the lights. Bring out the candles. Build relationships. Spend time with your tribe. Give yourself a break from the demands of healthy living. Cake is most definitely Hygge. Live life today, like there is no coffee tomorrow. From picking the right lighting to organizing a Hygge get-together to dressing hygge, Wiking shows you how to experience more joy and contentment the Danish way.

Often dubbed as the world's happiest man, Meik Wiking introduces the Danish philosophy of hygge—happiness found in the sense of being one with others, being at home, and being where you truly belong. Wiking is the CEO of Copenhagen's Happiness Research Institute, and in The Little Book of Hygge, he shares that Danes are the happiest nation in the world because of one centuries-old, time-tested concept: hygge. Pronounced "hoo-ga", hygge is both the experience and the atmosphere of coziness, togetherness, and safety. Hygge is the warmth of the morning sun against your skin under the breezy blue sky. It is enjoying a great meal by candlelight with your loved one. It is burrowing underneath a warm blanket with a cup of hot drink in one hand and a lovely book in the other, dry and safe from the perils of the ruthless storm outside. Wiking's The Little Book of Hygge reveals the vital element entrenched in the Danish lifestyle and culture. It also offers instructions in integrating it into your own life: · Take a breather and snuggle up. · Look away from your phone and into the present. · Dim the lights and set the candles. · Establish and improve relationships. · Nothing says hygge as a sweet slice of cake or a piece of warm cookie. · Live in the now. There is no other time like the present. From setting the mood with the right lighting to organizing a hygge gathering, Meik Wiking reveals how the Danes find life's greatest pleasures even in the little things so you can too. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!
