    OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDEA Sunday Times AND New York Times BESTSELLERThe Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation.It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right. Denmark is the happiest nation in the world and Meik puts this largely down to them living the hygge way. They focus on the small things that really matter, spend more quality time with friends and family and enjoy the good things in life.The Little Book of Hygge will give you practical steps and tips to become more hygge: how to pick the right lighting, organise a dinner party and even how to dress hygge, all backed up by Meik's years' of research at the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. This year live more like a Dane, embrace hygge and become happier.

    Hvorfor er danskerne verdens lykkeligste folk?Når der laves internationale lykkemålinger, så ligger Danmark næsten altid nummer 1 eller i hvert fald i top tre. Danskerne er hverken de rigeste i verden eller de mægtigste, mest innovative eller de mest sunde, så hvad er det, vi danskere gør rigtigt, som sørger for, at langt de fleste af os går rundt og er lykkelige?Forfatter Meik Wiking gav en flig af svaret i sin seneste bog The Little Book of Hygge, som har solgt millionvis af eksemplarer i hele verden, og som beskrev det danske begreb hygge på en måde, så folk kloden rundt puttede sig i deres Sarah Lund Sweater og ønskede sig til skandinaviske himmelstrøg. I opfølgeren Den lille bog om Lykke tager Meik Wiking virkelig fat på at beskrive, hvorfor vi danskere er så lykkelige.Danskerne har en stor fællesskabsfølelse, vi stoler på hinanden og vores stat og kommuner, og vi er typisk tilfredse med den service, som vi får i samfundet. Men det handler i mindst lige så høj grad, om alle de små ting, vi danskere tager for givet: lang ferie, lav arbejdstid, masser af familiesamvær og – ja – hygge. Som Meik skriver i bogen, så er der i Danmark ingen prestige i at arbejde mange og lange timer og tjene mange penge; i stedet er der prestige i at hente sit barn tidligt i institution, lave sin mad fra bunden af sunde råvarer og have tid til at læse bøger og gå på museum.Vi betaler måske nok en af de højeste skatteprocenter i verden, men vi får noget for pengene: Lykke, tillid og et land, hvor det er rart at være.Meik Wikings første bog The Little Book of Hygge har solgt rigtig, rigtig mange eksemplarer verden rundt og i Den lille bog om Lykke fortsætter han sin fascinerende og humoristiske gennemgang af det danske samfunds solsider.Opfølgeren til den storsælgende The Little Book of Hygge!

    Danmark er kendt som verdens lykkeligste land. Det skyldes i bund og grund én ting: Vi hygger.”Hygge er blevet beskrevet som alt lige fra ‘kunsten at skabe intimitet’, ‘følelsesmæssigt velbehag’ til ‘at nyde tilstedeværelsen af beroligende ting’, ‘behageligt samvær’ og − min personlige favorit − ‘kakao i skæret af levende lys’.Men hygge er svært at beskrive. Det er noget, man føler. Hygge er, når man putter sig i sofaen med en, man holder af, eller at spise god mad med nære venner. Hygge er, når morgenlyset falder helt rigtigt ind gennem dit vindue. Forfatteren Meik Wiking er direktør for Institut for  Lykkeforskning i København, og han ved alt om hygge. Han har nemlig brugt mange år på at studere det helt særlige ved danskernes måde at leve på. Meiks inspirerende  og smukke bog hjælper dig med at finde ind til hyggens mange facetter, lige fra at vælge den helt rette belysning, planlægge et hyggeligt middagsselskab til at lave dit eget hyggeførstehjælpssæt!

  • - - en opdagelsesrejse i lykkeforskningens verden
    by Meik Wiking
    £12.49

    Kan penge gøre os lykkelige, er gifte folk lykkeligere end ugifte, og hvordan måler man i det hele taget lykke?Der bliver i disse år forsket intenst i lykkebegrebet, og derfor har vi i dag svarene på ovenstående spørgsmål. FN og OECD arbejder med lykkebegrebet, regeringer gennemfører lykkemålinger og søger at øge lykkeniveauet i befolkningen, og virksomheder som Google ansætter Chief Happiness Officers.'Meik Wiking, der er direktør for Institut for Lykkeforskning, giver her et bud på, hvordan man kan arbejde professionelt og seriøst med lykke og livskvalitet. Lykken under lup handler om, hvordan forestillingen om lykke har udviklet sig over tid, og hvordan man arbejder videnskabeligt med lykke. Hvad er det, de internationale lykkemålinger måler, når de siger, at Danmark er verdens lykkeligste land?
