In both Danish and Norwegian, hygge refers to "a form of everyday togetherness", "a pleasant and highly valued everyday experience of safety, equality, personal wholeness and a spontaneous social flow".[6] Collins English Dictionary named hygge the runner-up (after "Brexit") as word of the year in the UK in 2016.[9] This followed a period during which several books focusing on hygge had been marketed in the UK,[10] such as The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking,[11] Hygge: The Danish Art of Happiness by Marie Tourell Søderberg,[12] and The Book of Hygge: The Danish Art of Living Well by Louisa Thomsen Brits.[13] ^ Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well, London: Penguin Life, 2016, ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4673.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4673.txt
