<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "The Danes are famously the happiest people in the world, and hygge is a cornerstone of their way of life. Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) loosely translates as a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. You know hygge when you feel it. It is when you are cuddled up on the sofa with a loved one, or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right. It is about gratitude and savoring the simple pleasures in life. In short, it is the pursuit of everyday happiness"-- <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong><em>New York Times</em> Bestseller</strong></p><p><strong>Embrace Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) and become happier with this definitive guide to the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><em>The Little Book of Hygge</em> introduces you to this cornerstone of Danish life, and offers advice and ideas on incorporating it into your own life, such as: </p><ul><li>Get comfy. Take a break.</li><li>Be here now. Turn off the phones.</li><li>Turn down the lights. Bring out the candles.</li><li>Build relationships. Spend time with your tribe.</li><li>Give yourself a break from the demands of healthy living. Cake is most definitely Hygge.</li><li>Live life today, like there is no coffee tomorrow.</li></ul><p>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.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p><strong><em>New York Times</em> bestseller</strong></p><p>Get consciously cozy.</p><p>The Danes are famously the happiest people in the world, and <em>hygge</em> is a cornerstone of their way of life. <em>Hygge</em> (pro-nounced <em>Hoo-ga</em>) loosely translates as a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being.
