THE ART OF MAKING MEMORIES How to Create and Remember Happy Moments

The Danish happiness investigator and author of THE LITTLE BOOK OF HYGGE and THE LITTLE BOOK OF LYKKE is back, this time with a look at the mechanisms of memory. In a chatty, friendly tone and with lots of self-deprecating jokes, Wiking urges us to ask ourselves how we will remember the good times in our lives and offers ways we can create experiences that are worth remembering. Some of his suggestions: Try new things, celebrate milestones, and surround yourself with objects that evoke happy memories. Wiking's research and stories are bound to have listeners recalling some of their own happy memories and inspire them to safeguard those memories for the future--and work on making new ones.
