重点摘要
1. Hygge：丹麦的幸福与福祉秘诀
“Hygge是一种氛围和体验，而不是物品。它是与我们爱的人在一起的感觉。家的感觉。我们感到安全，能够放下戒备的感觉。”
定义hygge。 Hygge（发音为“hoo-ga”）是一个丹麦概念，涵盖了舒适、安逸和满足。它是关于创造温暖的氛围，与好人一起享受生活中的美好事物。这个概念深深植根于丹麦文化，被认为是其国家身份的一个定义特征。
起源和重要性。 Hygge起源于一个挪威词，意为“福祉”，并在19世纪初出现在丹麦书面语中。它已经演变成一种全面的生活方式，丹麦人将其归功于他们的高幸福水平。虽然其他文化中也存在类似的概念（如德国的Gemütlichkeit或荷兰的gezelligheid），但丹麦人对hygge的痴迷及其在日常生活中的融入是独特的。
2. 光与氛围：用蜡烛和灯具营造舒适空间
“没有蜡烛的hygge配方是不完整的。当被问及最能与hygge联系在一起的东西时，压倒性的85%的丹麦人会提到蜡烛。”
蜡烛作为hygge的必需品。 丹麦人每人每年消耗约13磅蜡烛，比任何其他欧洲国家的人均消耗量都多。蜡烛创造出柔和、温暖的光线，这是hygge氛围的关键。天然的无香蜡烛比人工香味的蜡烛更受欢迎。
照明设计。 除了蜡烛，丹麦人对照明选择也非常讲究。他们更喜欢用多个小灯在房间内创造光的池塘，而不是明亮的顶灯。理想的hygge照明色温约为1800K，类似于烛光或日落。著名的丹麦照明设计师如Poul Henningsen设计了标志性的灯具，将电光塑造成类似传统油灯的光辉。
3. 社交联系：hygge与幸福的核心
“我们是社会性生物，这一点在比较人们在关系中的满意度与他们对生活的总体满意度时尤为明显。”
团结与亲密。 Hygge通常在亲密的朋友或家庭小团体中体验。它是关于创造一个安全、温暖的环境，让人们可以放松并做自己。理想的hygge聚会是随意的、平等的，注重真实的联系而不是给别人留下深刻印象。
社交对福祉的影响。 强大的社会关系一贯被认为是幸福和生活满意度的最佳预测因素之一。丹麦人重视社交联系，78%的人每周至少与朋友、家人或同事社交一次，而欧洲平均水平为60%。hygge的社交方式——亲密、放松、注重优质时间——可能有助于丹麦社会纽带的强度和整体幸福感。
4. 食物和饮料：通过简单的快乐实现舒适和团结
“Hygge是对自己好——给自己一个享受的机会，给自己和彼此一个从健康生活要求中解脱的机会。”
舒适食物和放纵。 Hygge通常涉及与亲人分享食物和饮料。重点是舒适的食物、甜点和热饮，如咖啡或热巧克力。虽然不一定健康，但这些享受被视为创造舒适、放纵氛围的重要部分。
慢食与团结。 食物的准备过程可以像吃它一样hygge。慢炖的饭菜、自制的点心和共同的烹饪体验都为hygge体验做出了贡献。重点在于过程及其创造的团结，而不是精致或花哨的菜肴。
- 受欢迎的hygge食物：蛋糕、糕点、炖菜、汤、咖啡、热巧克力、热红酒（gløgg）
- Hygge食物原则：自制、舒适、可分享、慢炖
5. 家是hygge总部：设计舒适的空间
“丹麦人对室内设计的痴迷是因为我们的家是hygge总部。家是丹麦社会生活的中心。”
创建hyggekrog。 Hygge家的一个关键元素是hyggekrog，或舒适的角落。这是一个舒适的空间，通常在窗边，充满柔软的质地和温暖的照明。它是放松、阅读或安静沉思的地方。
Hygge设计元素：
- 自然材料：木材、陶瓷、羊毛、皮革
- 柔软质地：毯子、靠垫、地毯
- 温暖照明：蜡烛、柔和的灯光
- 自然元素：植物、自然装饰
- 复古或手工制品：有历史和个性的物品
目标是创造一个温暖、邀请和个性化的空间。简约和功能性比奢华或炫耀更受重视。
6. 家外的hygge：在自然和日常生活中找到舒适
“与他人在一起是hygge的关键部分，但作为一名幸福研究者，我也可以证明这可能是幸福的最重要成分。”
户外hygge。 虽然通常与室内舒适联系在一起，hygge也可以在户外体验。野餐、篝火或简单地享受自然都是hygge。关键是在户外环境中创造一种舒适和团结的感觉。
工作场所hygge。 丹麦人认为hygge应该延伸到生活的各个方面，包括工作。这可能涉及随意的办公室环境、共享餐食或在工作空间中融入舒适元素。目标是创造一个更放松、舒适的氛围，促进更好的关系和工作中的福祉。
家外的hygge活动：
- 自然散步或徒步旅行
- 公园或海滩野餐
- 舒适的咖啡馆访问
- 户外电影或音乐会
- 社区花园
7. 拥抱简约：慢生活艺术和欣赏小瞬间
“Hygge是谦逊和缓慢的。它选择质朴而非新颖，简单而非奢华，氛围而非兴奋。”
慢生活。 Hygge鼓励一种较慢的生活节奏，注重质量体验而非数量。它是关于花时间享受简单的快乐和日常生活中的暂停时刻。
正念和存在感。 完全存在于当下是hygge的一个关键方面。这意味着放下手机等干扰，专注于周围的人和体验。它是关于品味体验，无论是一杯咖啡、与朋友的对话，还是一个安静的独处时刻。
Hygge心态：
- 欣赏简单的快乐
- 注重体验而非物质
- 培养对日常时刻的感激之情
- 拥抱不完美和真实性
8. 季节性hygge：全年培养舒适感
“虽然全年都可以有hygge，但在冬季，它不仅是必需品，更是一种生存策略。”
冬季hygge。 黑暗、寒冷的丹麦冬季使hygge尤为重要。这是一种在最阴暗的月份里创造温暖和光明的方式。冬季hygge可能包括舒适的室内聚会、热饮和大量的蜡烛。
夏季hygge。 虽然不那么强烈，夏季hygge注重户外享受和社交聚会。野餐、烧烤和在自然中度过的时间都是夏季hygge的一部分。
季节性hygge活动：
- 冬季：电影之夜、滑雪旅行、汤比赛
- 春季：徒步旅行、户外烹饪、种植花园
- 夏季：海滩野餐、户外音乐会、采摘水果
- 秋季：采蘑菇、篝火之夜、舒适阅读
9. Hygge的五感：调动所有舒适感官
“Hygge充满了强烈的导向和承诺，致力于体验和品味当下的时刻。”
多感官体验。 Hygge调动所有五感，创造出一种完全沉浸的舒适和安逸体验。
- 味觉：舒适的食物、甜点、热饮
- 听觉：噼啪作响的火焰、柔和的音乐、轻声交谈
- 嗅觉：烘焙食品、咖啡、自然香味如木材或花朵
- 触觉：柔软的质地、温暖的材料、手工制品
- 视觉：柔和的照明、自然材料、舒适的空间
通过调动所有感官，hygge创造出一种丰富的、多维的舒适和福祉体验。
10. 预算内的hygge：经济实惠的温暖和联系方式
“你不能买到合适的氛围或团结感。如果你匆忙或压力大，你无法hygge，创造亲密感的艺术只能通过时间、兴趣和对周围人的投入来实现。”
简约胜过奢华。 Hygge本质上是关于简约和欣赏，而不是奢华或昂贵。许多hygge活动和元素都是免费的或低成本的。
经济实惠的hygge创意：
- 与朋友的桌游之夜
- 与亲人分享的自制餐
- 自然散步或野餐
- DIY项目如制作蜡烛或烘焙
- 用现有的毯子和枕头创建一个舒适的阅读角
重点在于创造力、团结和欣赏，而不是花钱购买昂贵的物品或体验。
11. 丹麦的幸福：hygge在国家福祉中的作用
“丹麦绝不是一个完美的乌托邦，和其他国家一样面临挑战和问题，但我确实相信丹麦可以成为其他国家提高公民生活质量的灵感来源。”
Hygge与社会福祉。 丹麦对hygge的重视可能有助于他们在全球幸福调查中的持续高排名。通过优先考虑社交联系、舒适和简单的快乐，hygge帮助创造了一种福祉和满足的文化。
超越hygge。 虽然hygge很重要，但其他因素也有助于丹麦的幸福，包括：
- 强大的社会安全网（医疗、教育、失业福利）
- 对政府和社会的高度信任
- 良好的工作与生活平衡
- 强调平等和简朴生活
Hygge不是万能药，但它代表了一种生活方式，优先考虑福祉、联系和对简单快乐的欣赏——这些原则可以在不同的文化背景下适应和应用，以潜在地改善生活质量。
