The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us right here, right now. To explore how we can craft lives of meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith synthesizes a kaleidoscopic array of sources from psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, and the Buddha. Drawing on this research, Smith shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery can immeasurably deepen our lives. The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a life that matters.<\/p>\n Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is Hygge.<\/strong> Loosely translated, Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience. Hygge is the sensation you get when you\u2019re cuddled up on a sofa, in cozy socks under a soft throw, during a storm. It\u2019s that feeling when you\u2019re sharing comfort food and easy conversation with loved ones at a candlelit table. The Little Book of Hygge introduces you to this cornerstone of Danish life, and offers advice and ideas on incorporating it into your own life, such as: Get comfy. Take a break. Be here now. Turn off the phones. Turn down the lights. Bring out the candles. Build relationships. Spend time with your tribe. Give yourself a break from the demands of healthy living. Cake is most definitely Hygge. Live life today, like there is no coffee tomorrow. From picking the right lighting to organizing a Hygge get-together to dressing hygge, Wiking shows you how to experience more joy and contentment the Danish way.<\/p>\n![\"One](\"\/\/www.alibris.com\/the-new-health-rules-simple-changes-to-achieve-whole-body-wellness\/isbn\/9781579657598.gif\")
