The Little Book of Hygge
by Meik Wiking
The head of Copenhagen's Happiness Research Institute explains hygge, the Danish practice of coziness, candles, togetherness, comfort, presence, with light research and heavy charm. It is a small gift book, and its underlying case, that deliberate comfort and togetherness are a happiness practice, is sound.
Read it if…
you want permission and ideas for making ordinary evenings warmer.
Skip it if…
you want substance; it is light by design.
Three things you will actually use
- Coziness is a practice, not an accident.
- Togetherness over entertainment.
- Savor the ordinary.
Do this first
Light a candle, turn off overhead lights and share a simple meal with someone tonight.
Our verdict
Light and charming.
