Hygge and Happy Danes

In Denmark, happiness isn’t just a feeling but a way of life. At the heart of it all is hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”): the art of creating cosy, joyful moments, big or small. It could be a gathering with friends by candlelight or simply enjoying a quiet bike ride through the city. Danes have a special knack for finding warmth and contentment in everyday life, and it’s one of the many reasons they’re often ranked among the world’s happiest people.
