[Praise for the UK edition]: "Move over Hygge - there's a new Scandi buzzword about to take the world by storm." -- Mail on Sunday"[Meik Wiking] is our charming tour guide for this "treasure hunt" in which happiness is the much sought-after prize. Travelling around the world, he learns what works best where and distills these lessons into a lovely life plan that celebrates community spirit." -- S Magazine "Wiking has another Danish word for us: Lykke. And this time the scope is global. Lykke is the Danish word for happiness and Wiking's new book takes the focus away from Scandinavia to explore how other countries are leading the way in cultivating happiness." -- Telegraph (UK)"When it comes to living our best lives, there is much to learn from different cultures... The Happiness Research Institute explores global trends of life satisfaction. It's headed by Meik Wiking, who has collected his findings in The Little Book of Lykke." -- Good Housekeeping, UK
