Penguin Books Little Book of Lykke  

We've all heard of hygge, but now a new Danish concept is hitting the headlines. Lykke is what the Danes call happiness – and, as one of the happiest nations in the world, this is something they know a thing or two about. Written by Meik Wiking – best-selling author of the Little Book of Hygge, and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen – this is a beautifully illustrated, witty and entertaining book. It examines key areas of life – including health, wealth and community – exploring how each area relates to the pursuit of happiness. It won't surprise you to find out that money doesn't bring you happiness – but you may be surprised that being happy can make you richer! A great gift that will make someone very happy.
