Wie kann man Glück messen und selbst mehr Glück in das eigene Leben bringen
Meik Wiking widmet sich in seinem zweiten Buch Lykke dem Thema Glück. Dabei geht es nicht nur um das Glück der Dänen, sondern er vergleicht das Glück auf der ganzen Welt. Um hier eine Vergleichbarkeit schaffen zu können, hat er zuerst recherchiert, was Glück ausmacht und es auf folgende Themen heruntergebrochen: Zusammensein, Geld, Gesundheit, Freiheit, Vertrauen, Freundlichkeit. Jedes Thema hat ein Kapitel erhalten, in dem er Einblicke in Studien gibt und von besonderen Projekten und Erfahrungen aus der ganzen Welt berichtet, wo Menschen zusammen gekommen sind und das jeweilige Thema besonders eindrucksvoll umgesetzt haben. Dieses Buch gibt einem Tipps mit auf den Weg, wie man sein Leben selbst glücklicher gestalten kann und wie man gleichzeitig auch andere animieren kann, mitzumachen und somit das Glück zu vermehren. Ich mag die Bücher von Meik Wiking, sie sind sehr lehrreich und geben die Hoffnung, die Veränderung selbst in der Hand zu haben. Die Gestaltung ist wie auch schon beim ersten Buch sehr dänisch und hyggelig.
No people can be truly happy if they do not feel that they are choosing the course of their own life. This book is divided into 6 chapters, which contribute to the feeling of lykke - happiness: togetherness, money, health, freedom, trust, and kindness. While I think the author's first book [b:The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well|30045683|The Little Book of Hygge The Danish Way to Live Well|Meik Wiking|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1463433373l/30045683._SX50_.jpg|50452791] was quite a comfort read, lykke didn't bring anything new or revolutionary to the table. While I usually love nonfiction books, this one was not able to hold my interest, and it took me more than a month to finally finish it. My biggest issue is that the things were quite obvious. Of course, you're able to live a happier life if you healthy and wealthy, and if you have the freedom to do what you want. There were a couple of nice examples, but it didn'r really impress me. Still, I do like Wiking's writing, and you can tell that he's passionate about what he's doing. This book is well researched and offers great statistics which prove his point. Similar to Hygge , this book really made me want to see Copenhagen (and the rest of Denmark!) one day.
