A year or two ago everyone around the world went crazy for Hygge -- the Danish pastime that's all about being cozy and content, an ideal way to spend some time if you're an introvert or it's a chilly winter day. There's no English translation but the word 'Hygge' was even shortlisted for The Oxford Dictionaries' Word of the Year last year, though it lost out to 'Post-Truth'.
Anyway, it turns out there's lots of other practices around happiness that have been popular in different cultures throughout history.
Take Japan for example. Shinrin-yoku translates to 'forest bathing' and is literally the practice of getting outside and emersing yourself in greenery and nature to improve well-being. There's been plenty of studies done proving the many benefits the outdoors has on health, so it's no wonder the Japanese were onto this one from the get-go.
We also quite like how the French like to unwind. They're all about Aperitif, which is a small drink before dinner to ease the transition from work to relaxation. Cheers to that.
