Lagom the swedish art of balanced living, little book of lykke, little book of hygge 3 books collection set Description:- Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word 'lag', which means 'law'. The Little Book of Lykke: The Danish Search for the World's Happiest People It's easy to see why Denmark is often called the world's happiest country. Not only do they have equal parental leave for men and women, free higher education and trains that run on time, but they burn more candles per household than anywhere else. So nobody knows more about happiness - what the Danes call lykke - than Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and author of the bestselling sensation The Little Book of Hygge. But he believes that, whilst we can certainly learn a lot from the Danes about finding fulfilment, the keys to happiness are actually buried all around the globe. The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well: The Danish Way of Live Well In 2016, the world discovered hygge. Denmark has an international reputation for being one of the happiest nations in the world, and hygge is widely recognised to be the magic ingredient to this happiness.Hygge has been described as everything from "the art of creating intimacy", "cosines of the soul", "the absence of annoyance" to "taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things", "cosy togetherness" and "the pursuit of everyday pleasures".

Reviews

[Валерия Орехова · Rating 2 out of 5]

Книги для скучающих домохозяек. Часто мысли из одной части, повторяются в другой. Много картинок именно для красоты, а не смысловой нагрузки.
В первой зачем-то приведены рецепты, ведь сейчас нет интернета. Например, первая книга, по-сути об одном и том же: свечки, носочки, пледики, книги и чай - и вот вам счастье. Позвольте себя иногда баловать. Изредка перемешано даискими традициями.
Удивительно, как можно это размазать на полторы сотни страниц и продавать по цене хорошей увесистой книги с какой-то смысловой нагрузкой.
Итого, если вы про Данию ничего вообще до этого не слышали, про жлеиентарную психологию и о создании уюта ничего не знаете - бегите за этой книгой за любые деньги. Вот ваше счастье!
