About Hygge.

Danish people have a concept about happiness, which is called “hygge”. Hygge is more about an atmosphere and an experience than material things. I am reading a book by Meik Wiking about hygge. He works at the Happiness Research Institute in Denmark. He has made research, about where and how people feel hygge. For example, the majority of Danes say they experience most hygge at home. Sixty percent of people say the most hyggelig season are autumn and winter. Almost 60 percent of Danes think the best number of people for hygge is three to four.
What do you need for feeling hygge? If to hold the opinion of Danes, you should cook hot drinks (for example, hot chocolate), turn off the phones, put out candles, sit near a fireplace with close friends, or with immediate family. If the weather is stormy, it will be really hyggeligt!
