The Let it go app and concept are based on the Danish word ‘Pyt.’ Danes are some of the happiest people in the world, and they also happen to have a lot of cool words for ways to be happy. You may have heard about “hygge,” which has been the subject of countless books, articles, and commercials. Often mistranslated to mean “cozy,” but it really describes the process of creating intimacy. But another word, “pyt” was recently voted the most popular word by Danes. Pyt doesn’t have an exact English translation. It’s more a cultural concept about cultivating healthy thoughts to deal with stress. Pyt — which sort of sounds like “pid” — is usually expressed as an interjection in reaction to a daily hassle, frustration, or mistake. It most closely translates to the English sayings, “Don’t worry about it,” “stuff happens,” or “oh, well.” I've had the app in the Danish App Store for a while but didn't quite have a grip on how to translate it into english. While listening to a podcast with Tim Ferriss (@tim1) and Kevin Rose (@kevinrose) I finally got the words I needed. They talked about 'Let it go' and the quote 'living well is the best revenge' pushed me into translating the app. The episode is called The Random Show — New Year’s Resolutions, 2010–2019 Lessons Learned, Finding Joy, Energy Management, and Much More (#408).
