Episode 3891: Shawna Scafe explores the deeper meaning of hygge, a Danish cultural concept rooted in comfort, connection, and presence, and contrasts it with the more utilitarian philosophy of minimalism. By examining how each approach shapes the way we live, gather, and value our belongings, she highlights how hygge invites us to find joy in the simple, shared moments of everyday life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://simpleonpurpose.ca/hygge-vs-minimalism/ Quotes to ponder: "Hygge is the invitation to gather, the beauty of the simple things, the heart of conversation, the details of hospitality." "Hygge has a priority to set time aside for simply being with one another in a relaxed setting." “The pleasure is found in living hygge, not curating it, in the experience of the journey, not owning the map.” Learn more about your ad choices.
