Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, according to 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. It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe.
Embrace Hygge and become happier with this definitive guide to the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. 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.
From picking the right lighting to organizing a Hygge get-together or choosing your outfit for the day, Wiking shows you how to experience more joy and contentment in the Danish way.
