The Danish word ‘hygge’ (pronounced “HUE-gah”) could be summarised as enjoying life’s simple pleasures, such as being cuddled up on the sofa with a loved one or the crisp blue sky on an early morning walk.
The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Maik Wiking – CEO of the Happiness Institute in Copenhagen – is a beautiful and inspiring book about finding pleasure in the everyday. Touching on topics such as picking the right lighting and planning a dinner party through to creating an emergency hygge kit and even how to dress, Wiking will take you on a short journey of the magic of Danish life and help you be more hygge.
