Synopsis
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.

    Almost perfect!

    The books are exactly as they show and are sweet little hardcover books perfect for a coffee table. The books were shipped in just a plastic bag and the bottom of the spines arrived a bit bashed in, I assume from transit. These books would be better protected if shipped in a box. Not a huge deal, but when giving them as gifts it's disappointing when they dont look brand new.

    A Very Brief Guide to Filling Your Home with Warmth and Comfort

    This is an interesting little book about the Danish practice of "hygge", a term meant to convey the sharing of friendship and family in a warm and cozy home environment. Unfortunately, the author spends as much time discussing charts and trends of Danes vs. the rest of the world in terms of happiness as he does telling us how to achieve this joy in our own lives. For example, coffee and cake/pastry is often listed as a vital part of hygge, yet the book only gives 6 recipes...and although they do seem very tasty, none are suitable for coffee hour. There are also ideas given here that may be out of reach for many readers. Building a bonfire to gather around on a crisp autumn evening is indeed a delight, but not practical for urban readers. Likewise, going away for the weekend to a rustic ...
