With no equivalent in the English language, this word describes a moment of happiness, warmth or togetherness, and is found in the little things in life. We all know this feeling of hygge instinctively. It happens when you curl up in your favourite spot with an absorbing book, or when you share a delicious meal with wonderful friends. But we don't all know how to make time for these moments. Marie Tourell Soderberg's beautiful, authentic guide will show you that hygge is truly all around, if you know where to look. From home interiors to cooking, hygge touches all aspects of everyday life. This book will teach you how to say hygge, how to find hygge, and how to create hygge. It will help you to appreciate just how important these moments are, and why in our busy modern lives it's more vital than ever to switch off and make time for hygge. About the author Marie Tourell Soderberg is a Danish actress, born in Copenhagen. When she's not on stage or screen, she escapes from the drama by practicing the art of hygge. For this book, she has travelled the country, speaking to ordinary Danes about what this word means to them, and hearing from experts on why we all need more hygge in our lives."
