Being a Dane, I would like to add a few things.: You can not force hygge. It is just something that happens when content. It can even be while you paint the house with a few friends or play a friendly game of football (soccer to Americans) on a summers day. It does not have to be while being more or less inactive sitting with a cold or hot drink etc. The main aspect of hygge, is not imposing one's ego unto the situation, something or someone else. If you dominate the "party", talking too loud or interrupting all the time, you can be sure other people are not feeling any hygge - everybody has to be in on the hygge on equal terms. If you plan, that NOW you are going to have a lot of hygge, then it is imposing the ego onto the situation and it is no longer hygge because it becomes too fabricated. Though sometimes planning some hygge, can actually lead to hygge, if you following relax into the situation. You have to be content without imposing one's ego.
This is spot on, but as a Dane to! I would also like to add that, the conversation you have with your friend/ friends while this "hygge" is happerning can be non-verbal, where the company is the conversation in its self, as you don´t need to constantly talk with each other to enjoy the company, but this depends on the lvl of friendship you have with the person/people because the silence can be awkward if you don´t fully trust the person you are spending time with.
It is complete meta-thought (the reason why I like Trace and his channel.) I have already been practicing meditation to reach the understanding meta-thought (the thought about thought) for some time. It is the voyage to your inner being that matters, most important science is the one leading to self awareness (which help after trauma of loss.) I wish for Hygge for all humanity in the coming year 12020.
I have Hygge-nauts in my family from wayyyy back... :D j/k.. but seriously, I believe we all strive for this safety and comfort and it probably beckons back to a primal feeling for safety and comfort for those early humans, sitting among a fire undulating flames against the walls of caves, stories imparted by those flames to the onlookers, and feeling warmth throughout their bodies and safety from what lurked outside. I think due to that reason, we humans have our natural resonance set to this frequency of hygge, similar to Schumann, in which we are at our best settings.
This would make sense thinking back to our primitive times where cooler climates were colder and (snow) whiter so we're on the ball and alert to find food and keep reserves (not giving). Warmer climates had more food and safety/comfort so we'd be more giving... interesting match up
Nice video again Trace. In the Netherlands we have 'Gezelligheid' which means about the same. I found this great description (graph) on wikipedia, take a look. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gezelligheid#/media/File:First_draft.jpg Happy holidays and the best wishes for you and everyone you love. See you in the next decade 😉. The description from Wikipedia: Gezelligheid is a Dutch word which, depending on context, can be translated as 'conviviality', 'coziness', 'fun'. It is often used to describe a social and relaxed situation. It can also indicate belonging, time spent with loved ones, catching up with an old friend or just the general togetherness that gives people a warm feeling. A common trait to all descriptions of gezelligheid is a general and abstract sensation of individual well-being that one typically shares with others. All descriptions involve a positive atmosphere, flow or vibe that colours the individual personal experience in a favorable way and in one way or another corresponds to social contexts. Being a vague, abstract notion, the word is considered by some to be an example of untranslatability, and one of their hardest words to translate to English. Some consider the word to encompass the heart of Dutch culture.
What you're basically describing as the "science" is the top of Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs in Self-Actualization which brings forth the "feeling" of Hygge. You're only truly "happy" when self-actualized. "Happy" might be our half-brother version of "Hygge" in reality. The words are too similar for it to be a true false-cognate.
The top 2 links do not work. Both pages can't be found. I'm also curious about how trustworthy the 3rd source is. She is a psychologist, and her knowledge does hold some value, but she claims things without providing any research to back it up. The only verifyable statements are the ones about happiness, which doesn't play a huge part in this video. How can I verify the things you said to be true?
I updated the link to the Cornell information from Prof Hedge; thanks for the heads up! The Chicago Review link works fine for me, it might be a local problem on your end? Either way, these aren't the only sources for information about warm light and warm temperatures affecting human feelings, I'm sure a quick tip to Google Scholar could help!
oh! The Super Carlin Brothers did a video on this and the family in the spa, in the movie Frozen. - Just gonna tack all my comments in here, cause I don't want to spam you xD With the red being cold and blue being hot, I'm guessing they are basing it on fire? - My room is at 16°C/61°F right now. I got a blankie, just need some cocoa (my computer is happy though, and I like it cold) - Just overall great video
I helped launch DNews in 2012, and produced it for many years. It was sold to GroupNine in 2017 and rebranded Seeker! I left the following year to go off on my own 🤗
@@TraceDominguez I think I'm made different. I can't work if I'm uncomfortably hot and above 60 is just that for me. It would have been a problem for me, but I lucked out: My office was in the room with all the tech for the company I worked at and that means extra cooling.
@@TraceDominguez Yes, you are pretty close. Though it sounds like you put in a u before the y - like the u when you say "huge". So You say huygge. But it is pronounced without the u kind of sound.
¯\_(ツ)_/ the company was bought by group nine and they wanted to consolidate some of the channels. That’s the nature of business - the goal is to make money, and they thought that was the best way to do it.

This video makes me want to wrap myself in a blanket and drink hot chocolate!
omg come over I’ll make you some!!
Classrooms across Denmark have actually changed their cold lights to warmer lights to reduce students anxiety.
My hygge index increases while watching your videos 😊
Happy holidays and happy New year in advance!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰 thanks!

Based on what Rebekka said, I think that sounds plausible!
I love trying to explain colour temperature and colour warmth to people outside of film. It reinforces how weird film is when you get into it.
It really is weird.
I nicknamed my apartment "The Cozy Castle" so I'm the king of Hygge
You are. Invite me
Happy holidays! Nice to see you're well and back!
Happy holidays to you!
Happy new year Trace enjoy
Happy New Year!
I like that jawn you got wrapped up in.
Watching from Copenhagen right now 😉
GET YOUR HYGGE ON!
I wish I could like this a thousand times over but since I cannot sharing it will have to do.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️😘
So glad I found this channel!
Me too!
Hoping you find the new year to be fruitful and enjoyable.
Best wishes and hopes for the brand new year. 🤗💐💗❤️😘

Ooooo nice! We need. A good word in English for this🔎 I guess we’d probably just use “Hygge” now (even though it’s a tough one to pronounce). 😅
Interesting video! It would be very helpful if you could reference the studies you mention in the description
You're great 😍😍👌
I think sunrise is the most Hygge!
Ooooh!! So nice
Could this be the cause of great danes?
Lovely. Have a good time
You too!

Gezelligheid kent geen tijd!
Zo is dat! 😄
YAY!
Danes unite! /o/
For hygge!
Unite in a cozy way!
The chick lying down reading in front of the fire gives me hygge.
oh! The Super Carlin Brothers did a video on this and the family in the spa, in the movie Frozen.

Thank you! Heard about the Frozen connection. I’ll have to look into it
I'm convinced Trace makes an impressive shampoo horn
I don’t know what that is, but I use a shampoo that smells nice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Come live here in India at 45 Deg Celsius and talk about warm😀
What happened to dnews? Is it yours?
I helped launch DNews in 2012, and produced it for many years. It was sold to GroupNine in 2017 and rebranded Seeker! I left the following year to go off on my own 🤗
Weird, my productivity will go down when temp goes up 🤔
Not YOUR temp, the office temp :)
@@TraceDominguez yes, office not mine 😁
1:20 Happy? I would say it's more akin to the "It Is Fine"-meme. We just pretend 😏
"fake it till you make it" is better than nothing? ❤️
@@TraceDominguez It works.😂😖
Hygge is the stock photo & video that google android uses when advertising their new features.
Hahaha they have to make those cozy somehow
Is that means brown people are cozier?
Seems like a combination of oxytocin, serotonin and vasopressin.
A lot different from dopamine and adrenaline, and it relies more on other people.
gezellig, Dutch
Gawd, I couldn't take an office above 60 degrees.
Maybe you should? 🤷♂️
@@TraceDominguez I think I'm made different. I can't work if I'm uncomfortably hot and above 60 is just that for me. It would have been a problem for me, but I lucked out: My office was in the room with all the tech for the company I worked at and that means extra cooling.
Warehouse picker working getting merchandise out of the freezer for you!
That girl in the booty shorts... That's my hygge.
There’s not a lot of cozy b-roll that would work for this project. I found what I could, but please don’t use my channel to objectify a stranger.
@@TraceDominguez too late.
💛🧡❤️
hygge
I don't think the best way to explain "hygge" is to energetically yell about it into a camera... ;)
That is not how I imagine that word pronounced.
It isn't. It is: Danish: [ˈhykə]; Norwegian: [ˇhyɡɡə])
Rebekka said I did “pretty good,” but I think she was just being polite 😊
@@TraceDominguez The only real thing, is how the "H" is pronounced. Our H is very flat "hhå", compared to english where its a sharp "eitch"
@@TraceDominguez Yes, you are pretty close. Though it sounds like you put in a u before the y - like the u when you say "huge". So You say huygge. But it is pronounced without the u kind of sound.
Your undercut is getting dangerously close to mohawk
David made it EXTRA this time around 🤣
and lo-fi hiphop..... don't forget lo-fi hiphop ...
gezelig but different then cozy i guess
Warmmmmm. Mmmm
What happened to Testube. You guys sold out and became Nowthis.
¯\_(ツ)_/ the company was bought by group nine and they wanted to consolidate some of the channels. That’s the nature of business - the goal is to make money, and they thought that was the best way to do it.
you're too loud for hygge
Hygge is Danish.. Not Scandinavian. 😉
Literally the worst video seen by an American explaining culture they dont understand
