Scandinavian Cultural Center & Library

Dr. Anne Ipsen will give an illustrated talk about <a href="https://scandicenter.org/event/talk-hygge-and-happiness-with-anne-ipsen-phd/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hygge and Happiness</a>, drawing on Meik Wiking’s “The Little Book of Hygge” and her own recent book, “Happier Longevity,” by Anne Ipsen and Tami Muller.
Hygge has been described as the cozy feeling of curling up with a good book, spending time with loved ones, or sharing food with your closest friends. It is about savoring the simple pleasures of everyday life. It is a familiar concept to Danes and Norwegians but is related to similar cultural concepts in Sweden and Finland. In short, it is one explanation for why Nordic people vie for first and second place as the happiest people on earth.
So, how do we become happier? Although Anne’s book was written for seniors like herself, including their families and caregivers, much of the material applies to people of any age. It is based on scientific research and the SPIRE happiness framework by Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar and his Happiness Institute. The talk will combine these two concepts and explain how hygge and the SPIRE framework can contribute to a happier life.
