Happy Moments

A guide to creating happy moments you will remember forever from the internationally bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge and The Little Book of Lykke.

Each year we are given 365 days. Some of those pass us by without leaving a trace, and some seem to stick in our minds forever. Do you remember your first kiss? Swimming in the sea on holiday? The first time you drove a car?

Research has shown that when our senses are stimulated and when we are conscious of our emotions, we are more likely to recall those precious moments — which is why those memories flood back to us so easily.

But those happy memories don't have to be reserved for big life events. Drawing on global surveys, behavioural science experiments, and data gathered by The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik is here to show how we can turn ordinary experiences into something extraordinary.

Whether it's eating dinner at the table rather than in front of the TV, exploring a new part of your neighbourhood, or planning how you're going to celebrate your small wins, this book will help you find the magic in the everyday and create memories you will cherish forever.
