Why are the Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer is hygge, says Meik Wiking, director of the Institute for Happiness Research in Copenhagen. Hygge is the feeling you get during a storm when you're curled up on the sofa in cozy socks, covered with a soft blanket. It's that feeling when you eat your favorite food and chat with your loved ones at a candlelit table. It's the feeling you get when you look at the red morning light against the clear blue sky with a cup of your favorite coffee in hand. Hygge is about atmosphere and experience. It's about sharing with the people we love. The feeling of home. Feeling of safety. A feeling of inner peace and bliss. This book will offer you advice and tips on how you can use the know-how of the happiest nation in the world in your life. * Make yourself comfortable. Take a break. * Be here and now.
