Every year, we are given a fixed number of days. Some days pass us by without leaving a trace and some days we remember forever. Do you remember your first kiss? Or how the first rays of the spring sun feel? Or how about the best meal you ever had? These memorable experiences are characterised by intensity of perception, depth of feeling or sense of profound significance causing them to stand out in our mind and involve a heightened sense of wonder and awe.

The urge to nest and control our close environments has never been stronger. We spend more time in our homes than anywhere else—but the way in which our homes impact how we feel has remained relatively unexplored until now. Backed with Danish design principles, years of research, case studies and a sprinkle of hygge, Meik Wiking has created the ultimate guide to turning your home, office, or wherever you may be, into your happy place. The Hygge Home will teach us all how to create that much-needed cozy safe space in our homes into which we can retreat.

Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world. That's down to one thing: hygge. ' Hygge has been translated as everything from the art of creating intimacy to cosiness of the soul to taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things. My personal favourite is cocoa by candlelight....' You know hygge when you feel it. It is when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right.

We all know Denmark is the happiest country in the world—but this doesn't make it perfect. Happiness isn't exclusively Danish. Nor is it just eating pastries, lighting candles, and practising hygge. Happiness is something available to all, wherever you are, and whatever your means. Starting from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik Wiking, probably the happiest man in the world, travels across the globe on a quest to uncover the secrets of the very happiest people from Dubai to Rio de Janeiro.

Combining research on happiness and mnemonics (learning techniques that aid memory retention or retrieval), Meik Wiking explores how peak experiences are made, stored, and remembered. Using data and diaries, interviews, global surveys and studies, and conducting real-life behavioural science and happiness experiments, The Art of Making Memories will answer how we can create perfect moments. Moments that will go down in history. This audiobook will help you create more peak experiences, help you retrieve happy memories of the past, and store them for the future.

Au classement mondial du bonheur, c'est le Danemark qui occupe la première place. Pourquoi les Danois sont-ils considérés comme les gens les plus heureux du monde ? Pour Meik Wiking, la réponse c'est le "hygge" (prononcez "hoo-ga"). Intraduisible en français, le terme évoque une philosophie de vie danoise, un art de vivre basé sur la convivialité, la simplicité et le bien-être. "Le hygge est une ambiance, une véritable atmosphère", explique Meik Wiking. "C'est profiter de ceux que l'on aime en passant du temps auprès d'eux, avec ce sentiment de se sentir chez soi, en sécurité."

Meik Wiking joins Robin Morgan in the Audible Studios to discuss his guide to happiness. Meik Wiking is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. He is committed to finding out what makes people happy and has concluded that hygge is the magic ingredient that makes Danes the happiest people in the world.

It is well-known that the Danish have a fantastic balance of work and home life, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long relaxing summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word that means “happiness at work”—arbejdsglæde. All of this is true while the rest of the western world are struggling with a burn-out epidemic, so where are we going wrong?

Hygge ist ein dänisches Wort mit vielen Bedeutungen, von "Kunst der Innigkeit" über "Gemütlichkeit der Seele" und "Abwesenheit jeglicher Störfaktoren" bis hin zu "Freude an der Gegenwart beruhigender Dinge", "gemütliches Beisammensein" oder gar "Kakao bei Kerzenschein". Hygge ist warmes Licht und ein kuscheliges Sofa, Picknicken im Sommer und Glögg trinken im Winter. Und Hygge ist eine Haltung, die man lernen kann!
