The epidemic of unhappiness, loneliness, and rushed lives is growing and growing. To whom should we look for help? When was the last time you had a peaceful dinner with the ones you love and care about? Did you answer “well…” to any of those? Be honest - we all do. To one, two, or even to all. We are constantly being rushed, pushed to do more things, have more things, and be faster, more efficient, and more successful. But it’s burning us out. Even when we reach success, we’re not happy with it. The Danish may just hold the answer to that - it’s hygge, and you probably have heard about it by now.

In Hygge, you will discover: • What are the main principles of hygge and how to practice them with ease • What major benefits can proper hygge bring into your life • How to make your home as hyggelig as possible • How to do more for your tastebuds than just hot cocoa And much more.
