The Pursuit of Everyday Happiness and The Danish Art of Hygge

• arclein

Pronounced "hoo-gah" and originating from the Norwegian word hugga - meaning "to comfort" or "to console" (similar to "hug" in English) - hygge is a bit difficult to pin down. It's a sense of togetherness and comfort, or as blogger Anna Lea West says, hygge is about "cosiness of the soul." Think a small gathering of friends, enjoying a home-cooked meal, good conversation and candlelight. Curling up with a book under a duvet while a storm rages outside. Or warm cinnamon pastries and a mug of hot tea. These all fall under the classification of hygge - but it's also much more.
