Why are the Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer is Hygge, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. Hoga is a feeling of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. "Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience," explains Wiking. "It's about being with the people we love. Feeling home. Feeling safe."
Hygge is the feeling you get when you're snuggled up on the sofa, with cozy socks under a soft throw, during a storm. It's the feeling you get sharing comfort food and easy conversation with your loved ones around a candlelit table. It is the warmth of morning light that shines just right on a clear blue sky day.
Hoga's little book introduces you to this cornerstone of Danish life and offers advice and ideas on how to incorporate it into your life, such as:
Take it easy and relax.
be here now Turn off the phones.
Dim the lights, bring the candles
Build relationships. Spend time with your tribe.
Give yourself a break from the demands of healthy living.
Live today, as if tomorrow is not brown.
From choosing the right lighting to organizing a hoga gathering to dressing up as a hoga, it shows you how to experience more happiness and contentment the Danish way.
