1 - Introduction

Everyone dreams of living the perfect life. Of course, there are varying definitions of what this perfect life is. For most, it means having a successful job, owning a big home in a fancy neighborhood, and driving the latest luxury automobile.

Others, on the other hand, agree that the perfect life simply means spending quality time with the special people in their lives. Regardless of how one imagines his perfect life to be, it is undeniable that much of it is attributable to the positive feeling it gives – happiness.

Happiness, however, is another intriguing concept. Although not entirely foreign, not a lot of people know what it actually means, or how it feels. Because of this mystery, people are willing to exhaust all efforts to find it. Most of the time, they rely on the definition portrayed by the media.

Consistently recognized as the happiest people on earth, the descendants of the once-feared Vikings live life differently than the rest of the world. The secret lies in their love for food, music, and dance. It’s in the way they deal with people. It lies in hygge.

Hygge doesn’t have an exact English translation, but the word is often described as the state of coziness or intimacy. Properly pronounced as hoo-gah, people’s fascination towards this Danish concept has rapidly grown in the past years. And it greatly deserves the recognition.

After all, it has beneficial effects, including lowered levels of stress, increased feelings of support, and an improved overall well-being. When all these positive effects are put together, a person develops a greater appreciation towards life.

Thus, one of the key components to the envied Danish happiness is hygge. But how does hygge work,
