Hygge: Conscious Coziness as a Survival Strategy

Meik Wiking's "My Hygge Home" expands on the concept of hygge by focusing on how to transform a house into a warm and inviting home. The book explores the role of atmosphere, connection, and simple changes in creating a cozy living space. It delves into practical tips for enhancing the home environment, such as lighting, décor, and creating rituals. Wiking emphasizes the importance of creating a space that fosters comfort, relaxation, and a sense of belonging. The book encourages readers to cultivate a home that supports well-being and strengthens relationships.

In 'The Little Book of Hygge,' Meik Wiking explores the Danish concept of hygge, which is roughly translated as 'the art of creating intimacy' or 'cosiness of the soul.' The book is divided into 14 chapters that cover various aspects of hygge, including light, togetherness, food and drink, clothing, home, and more. Wiking argues that hygge is a key factor in Denmark's high ranking in the UN World Happiness Report and provides practical advice on how to cultivate this atmosphere of comfort and contentment in everyday life.
