Do you know what is the key to long-term happiness? Nice memories! Happiness researcher and author of the world bestsellers Hygge - Just a Happy Way of Life and Lykke - The Secret of the Happiest People in the World Meik Wiking advises us in his latest book on how to create memories that lead to a happy life. Do you remember your first kiss? On the day you graduated? For a successful vacation? Or the best food you've ever tasted? Memories are an important part of our identity, they change our view of the world, influence our behavior and our feelings. In his research, Meik Wiking found that people who harbor positive nostalgic memories feel happier in their lives. The solution to help future moments to become a memorable memory is, among other things, overcoming oneself, searching for new "firsts", connecting situations with sensory perceptions, feeling the thorny path to success, telling life stories. Filled with jokes, personal stories, photos, and references to movies and literature, you'll learn how. Learn how to keep what's worthwhile and how to forget and make room in your head for the unforgettable. The author uses research, data, questionnaires, interviews and experiments to prove the power of nostalgia and the ability of a melody, smell or even taste to take us back in time to a place where something very important to us took place. The book is both a meditative and relaxing read as well as a practical guide on how to bring new happy moments into life and keep a memory of them that will accompany us forever.
