The Little Book of Hygge – Soothing Things

Hygge.

It is pronounced many ways:

Described many ways:

The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking is – quite simply – a beautiful little book about Hygge, no matter what you think of the word. In it, you will find out that ‘Hygge’ appeared in written Danish for the first time in the 1800s. (pg 44) For some reason, we (the West) didn’t glom onto it until 2016 when it started trending all over the place.

Oh, and it’s written by some guy in the Happiness Research Institute, Copenhagen.

Seriously?

Uh. Yeah. 🙂

There is a manifesto, which I found odd because I equate that word with terrorism. Hygge Terrorism? Don’t think so. But I should have known better since a friend of mine coined the phrase (Wo)manifesto – thanks Bliss Mistress Edie! I mean, c’mon… it’s all good!

Taking a break…
