The Little Book of Hygge

Looking for magical ingredients to make life a little more cozy? Happiness, according to Meik Wiking is a matter of cultivating more Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga). A Danish citizen (insert happy person), Wiking is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and he makes a case for nurturing domestic practices like cooking and turning off phones. I liked this book because of the practical concepts he shared. No one can argue with the idea that developing intimacy is good for the soul. Sharing good meals with friends and family on a regular basis makes for an incredibly secure and happy life. Listening to this compact little book left me smiling time and again, especially when Wiking said to give myself a break from the demands of healthy living. In other words (gasp!) eating cake with loved ones is most definitely Hygge! Available on just 3 CDs and on OverDrive.
