Why people are so obsessed with hygge, the cozy Danish lifestyle movement
01 “Hygge” is a Danish word that loosely translates to “coziness” or “comfort,” and it’s often
02 used to describe a vibe or feeling that you’d get from snuggling indoors on a cold day. Since the
03 word entered the American lexicon, it has become a full-blown, Instagram-worthy lifestyle filled
04 with warm blankets and glowing candles. Ask a Dane to explain the concept, and they’ll probably
05 say it means socializing with loved ones at home, wearing warm clothes, feeling sheltered and
06 safe, enjoying indulgent foods, and drinking mulled wine.
07 “What is uniquely Danish is that we have a word that describes that situation,” says Meik
08 Wiking, a happiness researcher based in Copenhagen. Although Wiking didn’t invent hygge, his
09 2017 New York Times bestselling book The Little Book of Hygge put the concept on the map and
10 introduced the Danish comfort theory to an international audience. But why are people so
11 obsessed with it?
12 Hygge is more than just an excuse to hibernate or redecorate. It could also be a way to feel
13 happier during an otherwise dark and cold season — something Denmark knows a lot about.
14 Humans today are desperate for anything that provides the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin,
15 like friendship, human contact and hugs, explains A. K. Pradeep, a neuromarketer and author of
16 The Buying Brain. “Peel away the commercial label of hygge, and what it is at the core of it is a
17 serotonin booster.” During the winter months people around the world might be craving activities
18 that boost serotonin and minimize stress. Wiking says that it is “a survival strategy” in Nordic
19 countries, where the winters are long, and it tends to get very dark around 4 p.m.
20 According to Dr. Avery, some of the tenets of hygge, particularly socializing, could help
21 someone coping with the blues. People who are depressed tend to isolate themselves, which
22 only intensifies their feelings, and leads them to isolate more. “Socializing with friends is important
23 for any kind of depression,” he adds, “it’s important to be around people.”
