The holiday season is upon us. It's a time for getting cozy, making memories, and looking forward to the new year ahead.\n\nMy guest today has plenty of research-backed insights on how to take each of those things to the next level. His name is Meik Wiking, and he's the CEO of the\xa0Happiness Research Institute\xa0and the author of\xa0The Little Book of\xa0Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living,\xa0as well as\xa0The Art of Making Memories: How to Create and Remember Happy Moments. We begin our discussion exploring the\xa0Danish concept of\xa0hygge, which is the art of getting cozy, and how it helps Danes survive their long, harsh winters. Mike also discusses his research on how to create lasting memories. We then combine these ideas to explore how lighting, food, scent, and more can help you inject more\xa0hygge\xa0into the holiday season, and make Christmas and the coming year your most memorable yet.\n\nYou'll want to grab a hot cocoa and wrap yourself in a blanket before cozying up to this show.\n\nGet the show notes at aom.is/cozy.
