You'll finally know how to pronounce "hygge" after listening to this audiobook--and you might find yourself wanting to invite author Meik Wiking over for some mulled wine. Hygge is the Danish concept of coziness-plus that's currently experiencing a surge of publicity outside Denmark. Narrating with a slight accent, Wiking is an able and appealing reader of his own work, which serves as both an in-depth explanation of hygge as well as a treatise on how and why its practice might impact our overall happiness and well-being. (Wiking is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.) If you're of a certain disposition, this audiobook experience will feel like a warm blanket on a dark winter night.

Wiking (CEO, the Happiness Research Inst.) maintains that the Danes are the happiest people in the world because of hygge (pronounced hoo-ga), a concept that embodies atmosphere and experience over things. Some of the elements of hygge involve living in the moment, making relationships a priority, relaxation, equality, and comfort. Wiking offers ideas for finding such well-being in the areas of food and drink (e.g., eat slowly), clothing (e.g., dress for comfort), and in the home (e.g., use a lot of candles). He also claims that one can make an office or cubicle more hygge by organizing potlucks, decorating with plants, and bringing one's dog to work. VERDICT An exciting and intriguing guide, full of ideas for making everyday life more cozy.
