The Little Book of Hygge

　　丹麥文Hygge(讀音hooga)是丹麥式生活的精神象徵，卻難以用單字翻譯。丹麥幸福研究機構執行長Meik試著描述：
　　「Hygge是親密感的營造、舒緩靈魂並欣賞事物因慢而產生的美感，一種存在於日常生活中的藝術。我個人最喜歡燭光下的可可了...」

　　丹麥常被形容為最幸福的國家，寒冷的嚴冬裡，丹麥人體現Hygge精神，遠離陰鬱，讓自己被幸福感環繞。丹麥人把握與所愛之人相處的時光，那是在沙發上與愛人相擁的安全感，或與親密友人分享美食的片刻，或在陽光從你窗戶打進來的一個晴爽的藍色早晨。

　　如何以Hygge貫徹生活呢？Meik花了多年時間研究丹麥人幸福的魔法。他將從挑選適合的燈光開始，教你如何放鬆、與親朋好友共享，到一年四季不同的Hygge方式，與讀者分享慢活、樂活、舒活的自在喜悅。
