- Description
The Danish Secret to Making Everyday Life Feel Rather Lovely
If your idea of happiness involves candlelight, good food, cosy evenings and your favourite people gathered around the table, the Danes may be onto something.
The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking explores the Danish art of finding happiness in life's simple pleasures — and why Denmark regularly finds itself amongst the happiest countries in the world.
Written by the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, this international bestseller explains hygge — pronounced hoo-gah — and how we can bring a little more of it into everyday life.
Think candles lit before it's properly dark, supper shared around the kitchen table, blankets within easy reach, a good book, something warm to drink and slowing down long enough to actually enjoy it all.
Filled with practical ideas, beautiful illustrations and fascinating insights into Danish life, Meik explores everything from creating a cosy home and relaxed entertaining to food, clothing, friendship and those small everyday rituals that make life feel considerably better.
Part interiors inspiration, part wellbeing guide and part permission to stay home in your slippers, it's a lovely book to dip into whenever life could do with feeling a little cosier.
And naturally, we're entirely supportive of any philosophy that considers lighting more candles an important part of happiness.
