This month, we'll be reading The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking. Pronounced HOO-GA, hygge has been called everything from 'the art of creating intimacy,' 'coziness of the soul,' 'and 'the absence of annoyance,' to 'taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things,' 'cozy togetherness,' and the author's personal favorite, 'cocoa by candlelight.' Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience, rather than about things. It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe, that we are shielded from the world, and allow ourselves to let our guard down. Meik Wiking is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and has spent years studying the magic of Danish life and what makes people happy. Meik's beautiful, inspiring book will help you to be more hygge. Please pick up your copy at the Patron Services Desk.
