The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is Hygge. Loosely translated, Hygge--pronounced Hoo-ga--is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. \"Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience,\" Wiking explains. \"It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHygge is the sensation you get when you're cuddled up on a sofa, in cozy socks under a soft throw, during a storm. It's that feeling when you're sharing comfort food and easy conversation with loved ones at a candlelit table.
