2.5 rounded down.

I have become fascinated with Hygge, and have been reading up on it a lot lately. This was not the proper book for me to enjoy.

It felt very repetitive. There was no guide to how to really implement things or simply start bringing Hygge into modern north american homes.

There were a lot of beautiful quotes and although vaguely inspiring, I will look for another book to learn more.
