Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In Autumn 2016, everyone will be talking about 'hygge'. This Danish concept has no English translation but is all about focusing on the little things in life that bring you warmth and happiness, whether it's spending quality time with loved ones or creating a 'hyggelig' atmosphere in your home.
But hygge isn't a cliche about knitted jumpers and sitting around a fire. It's much more than that, and it has the power to change your life.
In this beautiful gift book, find out what hygge really means and how you can bring it into every aspect of your life. Fully illustrated throughout, the book will reveal how you can be more hygge through delicious recipes, easy tweaks to your home interiors, and by making time for 'hygge moments' in a busy life.
One little word is the secret reminder of what really matters in life: Hygge. This Scandinavian concept, pronounced 'hye-guh', helps Denmark to be the happiest nation on earth. With no equivalent in English, this word describes a moment of happiness, warmth or togetherness, and is found in the little thing in life.
