The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking

3.0

---

We all see the annual studies claiming the people in Denmark are the happiest in the world. But why? The author of this small book happens to research happiness AND he lives in Denmark. I suppose this makes him a happiness expert. It’s a really quick read and repeats itself significantly. In general it explains the Danish obsession with hygge: a cozy, safe, secure, social, slow, and humble way of living. It involves all the senses, but most of all is felt in the soul or heart. Its very different from how most Americans live. I’m definitely going to be incorporating more hygge into my daily life! Non-fiction is difficult to rate, I’d give it 4 stars if it weren’t so repetitive.
