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.

If you've never lived in Europe, then the concept of hygge is unrelatable and foreign. I grew up in a third-world country and such hedonistic pursuits are impossible when the two most basic needs according to Maslow (physiological and safety needs) cannot be met.I moved to the Netherlands roughly eight years ago and hygge is very similar to the Dutch gezelligheid. I count myself very lucky to have this opportunity to experience little conveniences simply because my basic needs are cared for. Anyway, I learned a lot from reading this. I also felt a massive sense of privilege that I get to experience hygge every day.

To be fair wist ik niet wat ik moest verwachten toen ik begon met dit boek. Het is eigenlijk een boek waarbij je meer leert over Hygge en hoe Denemarken het toepast. Zeker wat dingetjes die je kan gebruiken om je eigen leven wat Hygge te maken.
