'Hygge', the secret word of Danes that makes them the happiest in the

Hygge is a difficult word to translate, because it expresses a very special concept that not every country understands. It is actually a Danish word that can be translated very roughly as "we feel good".

The Danes were the happiest people in the world in 2016 and consistently Denmark is one of the highest prosperous countries in the world. Not by chance. They do not live like the rest of the world.

Will you know the secrets?

To overcome the long, dark and harsh winters, Danes cuddle within four walls along with friends and family drinking a cup of hot chocolate by the fire, talking on the sofa in a room with lots of candles, wrapped in blankets. It is a feeling of well-being.

Organize lunches and dinners for friends, gather and cook meals that can be casually eaten even by hand.

They invite friends even to have breakfast together at home.

When it is very cold they can hardly wait to eat dinner and sit on their favorite sofa to watch a movie, or read.

They light the fire and flame as much as they can, only the feeling of warmth and sight of the fire makes them feel better.

Bathing in the bathtub is a moment of endless pleasure. They pay a lot of attention to the atmosphere to light music and candles.

And Hygge is also practiced in the summer. They organize picnics, nature walks or go out for long bike rides.
