The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well

My life style of striving to be cozy always in my house is actually a common practice and even has a name! this is a pretty quick guide to read through with lots of good tips, wishlists, and practices. ~Ashley

Слабо. Мало действительно полезного (2, может 3). Все остальное советы уровня «Сделайте себе хорошо, и вам будет хорошо».

I love the concept of Hygge.

It helped me solidify my pursuit of a more Hygge life forward life going forward.

I did find it sort of subjective and repetitive, but there was good information throughout.

Interesting concept but information is repeated over and over. I enjoyed the statistical info but everything else felt like it could have been a quick news article, not a whole book.

I did enjoy listening to the audiobook for this. It was a nice intro to hygge and what it is. I can't give it a full 5 though because of the sheer fact that it felt like the narrator didn't realise how privileged some of the stuff being discussed sounded. Maybe that's just because of the time period when the book was written. I'm not completely sure. Either way, I found this to be enjoyable and leave me with a few takeaways and items I want to research more of.

I checked out the audiobook version (read by the author m)after listening to the By the Book podcast “live” this book for two weeks.

Now that It's gotten too cold to spend evenings on the patio or go for long outside walks, this book was a nice way to appreciate being inside, especially during the pandemic when other indoor diversions aren't available. I have to remember that I am lucky to have a cozy home and in unending supply of library books from the library, although not as many candles as I ought to have if I want to live the hygge lifestyle!

Ehhhh, I guess I just don't get into these lifestyle like books. I picked this one up because it was recommended by a knitter and Hygge has become very popular with knitters because of the whole cozy up by a fire and wrap yourself in wool aspect.

There wasn't anything wrong about the book at all. It's charming and not wrong. We do need to slow down, appreciate things and people. Be grateful and focus on the now instead of our regrets. And sitting by a fire wrapped up in wool would make anyone happier!

3.5 stars this was a very interesting read, and I will definitely make an effort to have more hyggelig moments (I probably didn't use that word correctly).

I love the idea of hygge, so I was excited to read this. It has all the information you'll need to hygge up your life, and it doesn't take that long to read, but it does feel a little like a term paper that's been stretched into a book. It feels like it's un-hygge to be too harsh on this book though, so three stars.

this started out well, but quickly became repetitive. At one point he was just listing recipes at me.
Don't read this if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of why Denmark scores so highly in happiest countries. While there are some insights, they are few and far between

If you want to be closer to your friends and practice the Danish style of self-care, read this book

Happiness is an idea I love to read about, and lately that happiness has been appearing regularly as hygge. When I couldn't find this book at the library, I decided to buy it. Now I see why it wasn't at the library. It's a nice book, a gift-book sort of book, but it's not really a library purchase book. The ground covered in this book was covered plus more in The Almost Perfect People. Don't get me wrong; this is a satisfactory intro to hygge. I think I wanted a little more.
