The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living

Had heard about this book on an NPR interview with the author and I see it's on Goodread friend, who recently died's TBR so reading in now in her honor. #jennyguycolvin

Loved the language lessons, especially the slowing down the pronunciation so I could pick up on each part of the words. Lots of good tips to explore for myself, including chapter 1's unscented candles.

This book reeks of privilege, I could not relate at all. Only thing I enjoyed about it are the interesting charts and illustrations in the book.

Não é ruim, mas também não é bom, principalmente a partir da proposta que dada.

Soooo good. I love the idea of intentionally creating hygge in my life anywhere I can!

This was cute and had some neat ideas about making happy coziness a part of your life on the regular. It also has nicely designed illustrations that really add to the atmosphere of the book, and it gives a small window on Danish culture that was interesting.

The big demerit for this was it felt like it had a couple/three blog-posts worth of actual content, padded out into a full book.

Still, the voice of the author is warm and self-deprecatingly humorous, and this did wind up being the ideal book to read when I woke up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep - very snug and happy, and definitely not taxing on the brain.

Coziness = Happiness

An overall interesting read, but nothing earth-shattering in my opinion. It talks about how hygge, a Danish concept that everyone can understand once explained, makes people overall happier. It shares ideas on how to bring hygge into your own life, both through actions and surroundings. It gave some good tips that I'd definitely like to incorporate into my own day-to-day.
