Nordic Art of Friluftsliv

Whereas hygge espouses the joys of turning your home into a cosy sanctuary, the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv encourages us to get out into the great outdoors. However, friluftsliv – or “free air life” – means much more than going on camping trips: it reflects an understanding of the basic human need to connect with the natural world. This book explains how anyone can enter a friluftsliv state of mind, make the most of their outdoor opportunities and reap the benefits for their mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
