Sample ways to find happiness from around the world and discover tips on
how to adopt these philosophies at home.
Wherever we are in the world, as humans we're all striving for
happiness--a feeling of wellbeing and calm amidst the everyday struggles
and chaos. What differs is how we pursue that happiness, and there are a
range of philosophies on offer around the globe. From searching for
ikigai (the 'meaning of life') in Japan or taking a fika coffee break in
Sweden, to heading for the hills to clear the mind in Norway or
appreciating the art of gezellig ('coziness') in the Netherlands, the
world is a tapestry of happiness philosophies we can sample and learn
from.
This book features 20 philosophies together with gorgeous illustrations.
Each chapter includes an overview of that philosophy, where it
originates from, its meaning to that culture, and ways to implement the
philosophy in your everyday life at home. There's also information on
places you can travel to experience the philosophy a little deeper, and
interviews with people who very much practice what they preach, all
wrapped up in a beautiful package.
