The World Happiness Report consistently ranks Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden as some of the happiest countries in the world. These nations place an emphasis on well-being and happiness-enhancing practices such as hygge and lagom. Join the Elmhurst Public Library as it presents Life Lessons from the Happiest People on Earth on Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, at 7 p.m. You’ll learn how to improve your quality of life by incorporating some of these principles into your daily routine. At McGrath Elmhurst Toyota, we think this talk is a great way to start off the new year.

Life Lessons from the Happiest People on EarthHygge is a Danish concept that refers to the feeling of cozy contentment and well-being that comes from enjoying simple pleasures and spending time with loved ones. It’s often associated with activities such as lighting candles, drinking hot cocoa, and snuggling up with a good book or movie. Lagom is a Swedish term that means “just the right amount.” It promotes balance and moderation in all things, whether it be work, play, or consumption. It encourages people to find a healthy middle ground and avoid excess in any form. Both hygge and lagom focus on creating a sense of harmony and happiness in life.

Among the reasons Scandinavian countries rank among the happiest in the world are their high levels of social trust, strong sense of community, and commitment to the well-being of their citizens. These countries place a strong emphasis on work-life balance and prioritize time for leisure and personal fulfillment.

So, check out Life Lessons from the Happiest People on Earth and get happy!
