the little book of hygge

The Sunday Times and The New York Times bestseller. The Danish concept of 'hygge' is one of those evocative words that lacks a direct English translation, but it essentially describes a feeling of comfort, warmth, and togetherness. Hygge is that sense of contentment own when you are curled up on a sofa with a loved one, wearing warm knitted socks, beside a flickering fire while it is dark, cold, and stormy outside. It is the feeling of sharing a comforting meal with your closest friends, by candlelight, engaging in relaxed conversation. It is those crisp, cold mornings under a blue sky when the light streaming through your window is just right. Denmark is recognized as one of the happiest nations in the world, and Meik Meik puts this largely down to their practice of living the hygge way. They prioritize the small, meaningful details, dedicate quality time to friends and family, and appreciate the life's simple pleasures. The Little Book of Hygge provides practical steps and tips to incorporate hygge into your life: from choosing the right lighting, organizing a dinner party, and even dressing in a hygge style, all based on Meik's years of research at the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. This year, try living more like a Dane, embrace hygge, and find your way to greater happiness.
