Raise your hand if you have NOT heard of The Little Book of Hygge! We would have to check our inventory, but it is definitely up there with most sold books on Denmark.

We are delighted to welcome the author, and founder of the world's first Happiness Research Institute, Meik Wiking, for an inspiring conversation about his latest book ‘The Art of Danish Living’. He will introduce his latest work as well as provide tools we all need to reduce stress, increase our sense of purpose, and live the Danish way.

About the book

It is well known that Denmark is one of the happiest nations in the world, and this is true in the workplace, too. Almost two thirds of Danes report a high level of job satisfaction and 58% would carry on working even if they no longer needed to. They even have a word that means 'happiness at work' - arbejdsglæde - and yet, the rest of the world are struggling with a burnout epidemic, so where are we going wrong?

Based on a new study from The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik reveals exactly that in his most valuable book to date. Beautifully illustrated and with chapters on purpose, trust, success and freedom, Meik suggests a more holistic approach to life and work complete with simple tips, such as: creating a ‘smile file’ of moments where you've made a difference, or 'job-crafting' by finding the tasks that bring you the most joy and amplifying them in your daily routine.
