The Art of Making Memories: How to Create and Remember Happy Moments

Meik Wiking, who runs the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, explains how to make and keep happy memories. He draws on research to show that we remember experiences that are novel, emotional and shared, and suggests ways to shape them, including using the senses, marking milestones, keeping a record and returning to places. Chapters cover themes such as travel, food, rituals and photographs, with short exercises at the end.

Readers who like Wiking's earlier book on hygge will find another light, practical read. It suits anyone who wants to be more intentional about everyday experiences and what they remember.

Practical, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Growth Strategist. Which reader are you?
