Living the Hygge Way

Can the Danes teach us something about being happy and living the best possible life that we can? What is it about the Danish lifestyle that allows us to perhaps even ponder about what happened to us or whether we have flied off our own axes a long time ago?

The Dane’s believe that to live happily and peacefully, you must practise hygge. What exactly is hygge?

Hygge is a Danish/Norwegian word that translates as a feeling of cosiness. It can also mean kinship and conviviality. If mindfulness is about the self and looking inward, hygge is about being sociable and looking outward—it’s about taking pleasure in the simple things in life in fellowship with kin.

The Nordic have a different perspective on living. They may be our north-eastern cousins yet it seems at times the way we live is a world apart. Therefore, this e-book will explore the context of Nordic living and how it operates.

Ideally, I hope this e-book will become a primer for how to live life to the fullest. We all need hygge in our lives, especially we Westerners.

Underpinning hygge is a craving for simplicity, an urge to pare everything back to basics. We can jettison the anxieties and clutter of modern living to free up our time and energy to make the most of life.

At the core of hygge is the guiding principle that we must all make the most of the short time we have on this planet. We must be kind to ourselves and to those around us. We can all benefit from a bit of hygge in our lives.
In this e-book, I will show you how to bring this about.
