About Hugge.

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