Loved it!

If you are at all interested in the concept of "hygge" you will love this book! It's very informative, a simple read, and includes solid research about happiness, and provides ideas for incorporating more hygge your life.

I really liked this book.

Philosophy of hygge and the related philosophy of minimalism might contribute to happiness, a healthier environment, and more general life satisfaction. It was an easy read and I felt like the book gave some interesting perspective to hygge that finding hygge can be different for each person.

Guide to Living Life To The Fullest

This is a quick read and I think worth your time. If you need to pull yourself away from work, connect with family and friends, spend time in nature, watch movies that help you unwind, enjoy treating yourself to a cup of tea or hot cocoa or a special coffee, but you're too busy, then do read this book. With a cuppa. And a candle!

I enjoyed learning about hygge

I enjoyed learning about hygge and it’s positive effects. This was a brief, yet useful introduction. I’m always trying to arrange my living spaces to promote a comforting mood so this information will be put to hood use.

Book for the cozy & content obsessed!!!!

Hygge is essentially the art of living a cozy life. In Hygge: the Danish Art of Coziness and Happiness, author, Barbara Hayden provides a compelling argument of how living a simple life mingled with comfort and simple pleasures are as essential to a joyful life as air is to our bodies.

Some good ideas

A great book with easy, inexpensive ways to add more hygge coziness t your daily life. Great ideas for singles, young families, anyone who wants to add some coziness to their daily life.

Non-Danish can hygge, too.

Having listened to other books on hygge by different authors, this book imparted that while the word hygge is Danish, we must discover how to bring ourselves into our very own niche of calm and comfort.

I enjoyed the simplicity of the book

Nice book to listen. Very practical and simple. Just as hygge. The advice patterns shown in the book are easy to implement.

For being happy.

Interesting listening to- a new way to look at life. Lots of merit in the ideas. The book contains a lot of interesting and exciting information about Hygge. Thanks to the author!

Enjoyed

As this book states, Hygge is a lifestyle, not just a concept. It requires practice to reprogram our brains from an incredibly fast-paced lifestyle. I found this book to be an intro to that lifestyle. The concepts are not new, and some bits were repeated. As I was listening to, I viewed the options for the hygge lifestyle as reminders for daily living as I do live a lot of them already. Physical comfort is important to me. Also, I enjoyed the links to articles that backed up
