Living with Purpose and Contentment, the Danish Way. In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Meik Wiking, the Danish happiness researcher and best-selling author who introduced the world to "hygge"—the Danish art of creating cozy, contented spaces. We dive into Meik's insights on the true keys to happiness, from fostering deep social connections to redefining success beyond wealth and status. Meik shares thought-provoking ideas, like Denmark's culture of collective well-being, and "job crafting"—the practice of making even ordinary tasks more enjoyable. We also discuss the value of autonomy and flexibility at work, the rise of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, and the potential impact of universal basic income on our sense of happiness. Don't forget - Denmark is consistently voted the happiest country in the world.

It's hard, but you have to do it.” “We have to be grateful for every single day that we're spending on this planet. Because we take everything for granted... We can buy everything, we can have everything, we can get everything. But when we don't have our health, that doesn't really mean anything anymore.” “You have to do your research when it comes to business partners, because they play a really important part in your life and business, and it can affect you in a bad and a good way.” “Success for me means happiness. And I think just being grateful, being thankful, and being happy in life, that's success.” “If you work hard, and if you put yourself out there, and you're focusing on your job, you will get those results.” “Just keep going, that's my go-to. Always just keep going. And don't give up. Just do your best and keep going.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin (https://a.co/d/1c3dDjJ) The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking (https://a.co/d/he6M7CX) The Art of Making Memories: How to Create and Remember Happy Moments by Meik Wiking (https://a.co/d/6dxPbb0) The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg (https://a.co/d/abIpx42) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Go-Giver Podcast https://thegogiver.com/podcast/  She's Invincible with Kamie Lehmann https://kamielehmann.com/  The Question Guy podcast with Dr. Keith McNally https://www.youtube.com/@DrKeithMcNally  USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.podcastconnections.co  http://noemiberes.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/noemiberes/  https://www.instagram.com/noemi_beres_/  https://www.facebook.com/noemi.beres  https://twitter.com/NoemiBeres  https://www.youtube.com/@noemiberes  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

When the pandemic hit, our relationship to our homes changed because we were spending more time in them than ever before…and even as we've moved forward, I think we've realized the impact that our homes can have on our lives. Especially as we enter the dark days of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I thought that this was the perfect time to talk about how to create a safe, cozy and happy environment within our four walls. If you're Danish, you know this feeling as hygge. And what better person to talk to about hygge - and creating a hygge home - than the author of the international sensation The Little Book of Hygge and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute, Meik Wiking. Meik has just released My Hygge Home, about how to create the feeling of hygge in our living spaces. It's not about buying stuff. It's about slowing down. Intentionality. Filling your space with a positive energy, and connection. My Hygge Home will have you thinking VERY differently about your space. It's a wonderful conversation - our last episode of 2022! - that will help create a positive mindset around happiness and enjoying every minute. About Meik Wiking: MEIK WIKING is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and one of the leading experts in global happiness. Committed to understanding happiness, subjective well-being, and quality of life, Meik works with countries across the world to discover and explore global trends of life satisfaction. And only someone absolutely dedicated to happiness sits in coffee shops across the world counting peoples' smiles. His first book, The Little Book of Hygge—which looked at the reasons why Denmark is the happiest nation in the world—became an international bestseller and will soon be published in 31 countries. On this episode we chat about: What is hygge, actually? Why Meik devoted his career to researching happiness The role of pleasure in Danish life How eating together bolsters connection and happiness…and success for our kids Exactly how much our homes contribute to our happiness (yes, there's a number!) The age that we are the least happy, according to science Small changes that improve dinner with your kids How lighting transforms behaviour What to do during the darkest days of year to improve mood The good news for all of us living in small spaces The ABCs of mental health used in Denmark How Meik achieves the balance between researching happiness and living it Support the Pod!

People are homebodies for a variety of reasons: they are introverted, they have a disability, their hobbies are well-suited for home, or they simply like being indoorsy. As part of his third installment in a series on homebodies, Peter McGraw speaks to Meik Wiking about creating cozy moments—at home or elsewhere—through the Danish concept of Hygge. Meik is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and the author of the “The Little Book of Hygge – Danish Secrets to Happy Living.” The conversation will inspire you to make changes in order to enjoy being comfortable and cozy.Love the show?

On today's episode, my guest is the awe inspiring Meik Wiking. Meik founded the world's first Happiness Research Institute in 2013 in Copenhagen to better understand the impacts on human happiness, inform policymakers and ultimately improve overall quality of life for citizens across the world. The research combines qualitative and quantitative methods, studying thousands of people from multiple countries to provide insights on the level of well-being, happiness and quality of life. Meik is now the author of four books which have sold in 39 territories worldwide. Mike's first book, The Little Book of Hygge was an international New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller with over a million copies sold worldwide. Today we are going to be speaking about happiness and his latest book which was released earlier this week, My Hygge Home. As we're spending more time in our homes it's important that we realise the huge impact and influence it has over the way we feel. In this conversation, Meik answers the questions: 'Can our homes make us happier? Can we design for better well-being? And is it possible to create better homes where we not only live, but we thrive?' .

Dr. Seuss “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes memory.” Candace Cameron Bure “The memories we make with our family is everything.” Cathy Allen “Life brings simple pleasures to us every day. It is up to us to make them wonderful memories.” "It takes one thought, one second, one moment or positive memory to act as a catalyst for the light to gradually seep in again." Fearne Cotton ‘Happy memories form the cornerstone of our identity, and can help with combating depression and loneliness. They influence our happiness in the current moment, as well as providing a framework for our hopes and dreams about the future.' Meik Wiking

We're so sorry about this. In this episode, Jess tries to share everything she learned about hygge after reading Meik Wiking's "The Little Book of Hygge," and considering neither of us can quite say this Danish word properly, it gets a little chaotic. Join us as we learn how to have a most hyggelig time and what that means when it comes to a person's happiness.

When you walk through the door to your home, how do you want it to feel when you step inside? Do you want it to be welcoming, comfortable, and cozy like a warm hug? What special pieces do you have in your home that remind you of your loved ones and give you that sense of ease?In today's special Book Report episode we are talking about The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) - Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.So, what is Hygge exactly? In a nutshell, it is about atmosphere and the experience we create rather than focusing on things. It is humble and slow. It's choosing rustic over new, simple over posh, and ambience over excitement. I've really been taking this idea to heart as I've been creating little spaces in our home that reflect our family history or are nostalgic in some shape or form. One fun way this is reflected in our home is a gallery wall that I have set up around my desk space. Each piece, while aesthetically pleasing, has deeper meaning for our family and I feel that I can come into this space and let my guard down, and I can fully be myself and at ease. So grab your favorite drink, or pop in your ear buds and go for a walk, and listen while we talk about Hygge and how it relates to the space we surround ourselves with and the feelings that we get from being surrounded by warmth, love, nostalgia, and so much more!Resources Show Notes | The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking | Join the Newsletter | Live By Design Goal Setting Masterclass | Follow along on Instagram @livebydesignpodcast | Health Coaching with Kate | Schedule Your Discovery Call | Free Meditation Library Health Coaching with Kate: And if you are feeling like health coaching might be the right fit for you, I'd love to schedule a free Discovery Call with you to see if we'd work well in a coaching relationship!
