The Little Book of Hygge. The Danish Way to Live Well

Denmark is consistently recognized as the happiest country globally, largely thanks to a concept known as hygge. This Danish term encompasses everything from the art of creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere to enjoying simple pleasures and soothing experiences. For many, hygge can be as simple as enjoying a warm cup of cocoa by candlelight. You recognize hygge by the feelings it evokes—whether you're nestled on the sofa with a loved one or savoring comfort food with close friends. It's also present in those serene moments during crisp, blue-skied mornings, where the light trickles perfectly through your window.
