"The Danes are famously the happiest people in the world, and hygge is a cornerstone of their way of life. Hygge (pronounce Hoo-ga) loosely translates as a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. You know hygge when you feel it. It is when you are cuddled up on the sofa with a loved one, or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right. It is about gratitude and savoring the simple pleasures in life. In short, it is the pursuit of everyday happiness." --

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

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