Hygge is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being, according to Meik Wiking, the author of The Little Book of Hygge. The Danish philosophy of hygge is all about creating a feeling in the home that supports peace and joy in ordinary experiences. For me, happiness in the home is relaxing by the fire under a blanket or having a bath, spending time with my family, or having friends over for dinner. These are hygge experiences.
