About the book

Meik Wiking, chief executive of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, links the happiness Danes are known for to hygge. Pronounced hoo-ga, the word loosely means a feeling of comfort, togetherness and well-being: being with loved ones, a sense of home and of safety. Wiking describes it through everyday scenes, such as comfort food and easy conversation at a candlelit table, and offers practical ideas for bringing it into daily life, from choosing the right lighting and dressing for it to bringing out candles, turning off phones and hosting a hygge get-together. Cake, he notes, counts as hygge too.

Vanessa Keng, co-founder of The Golden Concepts, said she has long loved what is unique about Danish culture and that it reminds her that the simple things in life matter most.
