Hygge and Lagom

Two manuscripts in one book:

*Hygge: Unlock the Danish Art of Coziness and Happiness

*Lagom: What You Need to Know About the Swedish Art of Living a Balanced Life

Cravings for comfort, coziness, and contentment: everyone experiences the desire for a happier, less stressful, and more serene life. Hygge, the Danish-born philosophy, is one proven way to achieve such a life. From the Old Norse for "well-being", hygge embodies a philosophy that is as much a mindset as it is a way of life with specific activities designed to encourage you to cultivate togetherness and joy at the smallest and simplest things in everyday life.

With this book, you will learn about the hygge lifestyle, with a philosophical overview of what hygge is and how it relates to overall happiness. The Danes have been voted happiest people on earth numerous times; surely, this homegrown philosophy has something of merit to recommend it. Also, within the book are many basic tips and ideas for how to practice hygge in your own life, from home decor and atmosphere to how you dress and spend your leisure time. There is also a hygge way of approaching food and entertainment, the holidays, and seasonal activities. Underlying it all, hygge continually emphasizes the spirit of togetherness, fostering relationships with family and friends, and nurturing yourself through self-care.
