What a beautiful concept this book is! The author takes words from around the world that represent the simplest pleasures of living and illustrates how to bring these concepts into our everyday lives. Not only will you be adding 50 new words to your lexicon, you'll be learning new practices for adding more joy to your life! The words are uniquely tied to the culture and the people from which they originate, but the feelings they invoke are universal. A wondrous book from start to finish.

This book is like a little hug of niceness. I loved reading about the cultures and traditions of kindness from across the world and it was heartwarming to see there is still so much good in the world. Any book with a cwtch in it is fine with me.

I've read books about hygge and ikigai, but this book covers so many similar words from numerous cultures around the world. The author has collected 50 words that evoke the feeling of happiness and/or living well, arranging them into categories - home and environment, community and relationships, character and soul, joy and spirituality and balance and calm. Each concept is described in 50 words or less, making this a fun book to have around to pick up whenever the reader has a few minutes or to sit and read cover to cover. Readers are sure to find many practices they will want to include in their own lives to bump up their own happiness. We can learn so much from other cultures if we're open to the ideas. This book will also make a great gift for anyone intent on living a better life.
