My Hygge Home, by Meik Wiking
Adapting hygge (the Danish and Norwegian word for coziness and conviviality, pronounced hoo-ga;) to his research on happiness, Meik Wiking shows readers how to keep chaos at bay by controlling how our living spaces look and feel. His recommendations include bringing greenery and more home-made things into our lives, dining by candlelight regularly, planning evenings in and playing conversation games to make meaningful connections and embarking on new hobbies (like making cider or kimchi) that require a small but manageable time commitment that extends the enjoyment.
