    About this ebook

    What makes Denmark the Happiest Country in the World? This question has a 1 word answer.

    Hygge is a philosophy of life that was founded by Danes, and Danes also happen to be the happiest people on earth. Coincidence? Absolutely not! 

    The concept of Hygge and secret to the Happiness of Denmark is finally beginning to enter the cultures of other countries around the world.

    Hygge, pronounced Hue-guh (NOT hoo-ga like many say), is a Danish term and it is a difficult word to define in 1 sentence. There really aren't any synonyms for the word in the English language. Hygge is a great way for many people to find simplicity, and ultimately happiness in life, fueled by togetherness, contentment, and just a sense of well-being and appreciation. In this book, you learn everything that you need to know about how you can implement Hygge into every aspect of your life, and increase your quality of life. 

    The great thing about Hygge is that it is something that you can enjoy all year long. It is a feeling of being grateful and just happy for what you have in life, being able to spend time with the ones you love, and being able to find an escape from the world no matter what is going on. Hygge can be experienced no matter where you are, and learning how to enjoy it and let it lead you can make a big difference in the level of happiness that you feel each day. This book is going to really explain Hygge in more detail and can it can help you gain this happiness in your own life.

      Hygge - Jens Borgg

      Introduction

      Congratulations on downloading your personal copy of The Hygge Book: A Dane’s Explanation of How to Live the Simple and Amazing Hygge Lifestyle, and Find Happiness. And Thank you for doing so.

      The following chapters will discuss exactly what Hygge us and some of the many great benefits that come from adding Hygge into your life. Hygge may have come from Denmark, but anyone throughout the world is able to incorporate this into their lives and get the benefits of a happy and satisfied life. Hygge is not just a word but also a way of life, a feeling, and a mood that helps you to remain happy with the things that you have in life, especially the small things, and the precious time spent with family and friends.

      This book is going to take some time to look at the different aspects of Hygge, so you can add them into your own life. We will start with some of the basics of Hygge and what it is all about. In addition, this book will talk about some of the other aspects of Hygge that can be very important, including how to use Hygge to connect with others around you, how to turn your own home into a place of comfort and warmth, and how Hygge can be used at the workplace and especially during the holidays.

      The neat thing about Hygge is that it is something that you can enjoy all year long. It is a feeling of being grateful and just happy for what you have in life, being able to spend time with the ones you love, and being able to find an escape from the world no matter what is going on. Hygge can be experienced no matter where you are, and learning how to enjoy it and let it lead you can make a big difference in the level of happiness that you feel each day. This book is going to take some time to explain Hygge in more detail and can help you to gain this happiness all for your own.

      Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible. Please enjoy!

      Chapter 1: What Is Hygge?

      The world we live in today is crazy. Everyone is always running around, trying to get work done, trying to make it to activities, trying to keep the house clean, take care of their families, pay bills, and just keep from falling behind. Our modern world has taught us that we need to always be busy, most of the time and that we need to be working since it follows us not only during our work hours but also at home. We are more connected to our calendars, our phones, and the television than we are to our families and friends, and we always feel like we are a few seconds away from breaking down.

      This is a reality for most people. They figure if they can just keep working hard and going at this break neck speed, they will be fine and get ahead and finally reach the happiness that they deserve. But it seems that no matter how hard they work, they never feel fulfilled and happy with this way of life. There is something that is missing, and keeping up with this way of life can end just putting us further behind our goals.

      There is a way to combat this disconnection and this feeling of emptiness that many of us are facing, and it comes from Denmark. The Danish people have a term known as Hygge, and following this ideology has helped them to feel happy, connected, and at peace with the world around them. This ideology can follow you into your daily life as well; the more disconnected you feel from other people and the more stressed out you are, the better idea it is to start using Hygge in your own lives.

      Describing Hygge is difficult. There is no right or wrong way because it is more of a feeling. You can take steps to bring Hygge into your life, but each person will describe this feeling in a different way. When translated, Hygge means coziness and togetherness, but that isn’t quite right either. It is more of a mental state of mind, a mood that you can be in, rather than a word that is easy to define.

      Imagine for a second that you are sitting around a fire on a warm summers’ night with some good friends. Everyone is laughing and having a good time, staying warm with the heat of the fire and
