    About this ebook

    The following topics are included in this 2-book combo:



    Book 1: Many people have heard of Hygge, but most of them don’t know how to incorporate it into their lifestyle. Hygge is based on comfort, warmth in the winter, and simple designs that reflect a homy, cozy feeling.


    The Danish knowledge about this subject has left us with many truths to reflect on. This guide will teach you why some people are completely head-over-heels with the Hygge designs, as well as describe how to decorate your home, your bathroom, and your bedroom to match this style.



    Book 2: How do you use the Hygge lifestyle during the holidays?


    What about Christmas? New Year’s Eve?


    And how do you practice Hygge in the living room or at work?


    These and other questions will be addressed in this quick, comprehensible guide. You will also learn about ideas for random acts of kindness, how to involve the children, and the background of Hygge.


    I invite you to act on your curiosity and begin reading or listening right now!

      Hygge - Hillary Janssen

      Bedroom

      Chapter 1: I Practiced Hygge and It's Kind of the Very Best Thing Ever

      According to the 2016 World Joy Report, Denmark clocks in as the world's happiest nation and Wiking actually believes that the positive stat can be credited to hygge. The Danes are extremely proficient at decoupling wealth and wellness, he says. We focus on the small things that actually matter, including spending more quality time with loved ones and enjoying the good ideas in life.

      That may be why the concept of hygge has experienced such popularity here in the U.S. It seems like everywhere you look, someone would like to know how to best master the art of hygge. And even with another Scandinavian idea gaining appeal-- ever heard about lagom?-- it does not appear like our love of hygge is going anywhere. For this reason my desire to try it for myself.

      Let's get to it. How do you practice hygge?

      Full disclosure: I am so over self-help-get-happy books. Marie Kondo, the Japanese organizing expert, took the world by storm saying we should sweep our lives clean of anything that doesn't spark joy and thank the stuff that does. But I do not want to thank my socks for their service. And there are a multitude of books on practicing minimalism, asking us to throw away our possessions for experiences. But I don't want to part with my books.

      This entire hygge thing is something I could be able to support, though. It requires only a small effort, doesn't ask me to speak with my health club outfits, and costs little bit-- if any-- money. Wiking says, There is nothing fancy, pricey, or luxurious about a set of ugly woolen hygge socks-- and that is a crucial feature of hygge. It has to do with valuing the basic satisfactions in life and can be attained on a small budget plan. Plus, it's just fun to say.

      I asked Wiking to lay out the best day of hygge for me. He said I should make certain that I have enough time, not be in a rush, and focus on the easy pleasures. (Cancel my Spin class, please.) For instance, let a pretty good stew simmer for hours while you read a great book and enjoy a nice cup of tea. Apart from this, keep it old-school-- board games over video game, Wiking instructs.

      His book suggests to hang a hygge manifesto on the fridge as a suggestion to practice hygge every day. So I cleared my weekend calendar, taped up the manifesto and-- armed with Wiking's recommendations-- I got hygge with it. Here is how to do it.

      First, it is necessary to develop the best hygge environment.

      According to the book, no recipe for hygge is complete without a collection of flickering light. When Danes are asked what they most relate to hygge, 85 percent will say candles. Their homes are filled with radiant flames, lit in every room, and so are Danish boardrooms and classes. For Americans, this would yell, fire risk, but for Danes it is
