The topic of “Hygge” (HOO-guh) has charmed me since I first heard about it several years ago. The Danish word itself is related to “hug,” and the whole idea is to create a peaceful, cozy, caring connection in simple ways, and spread that feeling of warmth and comfort to other people. Turns out other countries also have systems for finding happiness and balance in everyday life.
