5.0 out of 5 starswonderful book.
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2019
Hygge...it's so me, and not just because of my Danish ancenstry. I love a cold house so that I can feel cozy in my leggings topped with legwarmers and knitted wrist warmers curled up under a plush blanket with a warm dog next to me while it snows outside. This book is a great Hygge 101 for anyone wanting simple tips to get into that groove, which will provide you comfort and reduce your stress. I hardly ever bother with highlights on my kindle, but made 15 in this short book. One reviewer mentioned that there's nothing here that can't be gleaned from the internet. True...but...the key difference is looking through this book is simple and relaxing (which is what you're seeking if you're interested in Hygge) and searching the internet can be overwhelming due to the overabundance of information, the pop-up, the ads, link and link...it's too much. Here you have it all simplified and placed in front of you in a nice, easy, peaceful presentation. To me, the internet searches are too busy. My analogy would be learning from a nice one to one conversation over tea -vs-trying to learn in the midst of a loud crowd.

2.0 out of 5 starsNothing couldn't be gleaned from a quick internet search for the word "hygge".
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017
Not very good. Information is repetitive, and not really new. Many of the suggestions are not good, such as "Rent a dog for the day" - is that actually a thing that people do? And then there is the suggestion to hold a sweater swap, but only after "ensuring" your friends that you will wash all of the sweaters before the swap. The misused words and typographical errors in the book are distracting.

There wasn't any new information that couldn't be gleaned from a quick internet search for the word "hygge", and the book was poorly written. It reads like a weekend project. Two stars for being free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hygge is Comfort!
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
The idea of being comfortable in all aspects of life is not just a fantasy. The authors of this book offer concrete steps one can take to live a more comfortable, cozy life. I wish that the book had been illustrated. A drawing can express a mood or feeling more easily than words and can also help to fix the words in one's mind. I also wish that the book had been longer. The authors might consider writing the next book focusing on the joys of each season, and of each holiday. So many people don't know the joy of planting a garden and watching it grow, or going on a picnic, raking leaves or making cocoa from scratch. An alarming number of people have abandoned celebrating holidays all together because they are overwhelmed at the prospect of not reaching some unobtainable level of perfection found in a magazine or on Instagram. I think that more information on creating a truly comfortable home would be helpful. Home is a concept that many people really don't understand. Simple guidelines focusing on color and texture would help most people choose things that make their house (or apartment) a home. All in all, the book was a lovely introduction to the concept of Hygge. I hope more is to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new but a timely reminder to be kind to ourselves
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
Wear socks, light a candle, drink tea. Nothing new in the currently faddy Hygge-themed genre of books, but a nice (inexpensive!) reminder to nurture ourselves, slow down, count our blessings and be grateful. More relevant now than ever before! Sheltering at home is a must, so may as well make the most of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of hygge concepts
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
A brief exploration of how to live a hygge life. I found the discussion of mindfulness useful. Also the ideas about examining what you value in life as a way to sort out how to make your life less stressful and more nurturing. Very enjoyable reading. Seems to be valid psychology.

1.0 out of 5 stars More like a dull textbook
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book was so dull. I found myself zoning out while reading it. Not because I was getting cozy, but because it reads like a school textbook. I've read different things about hygge before, but I've never read something more detached from the feeling of hygge before. I'm not sure that the author (or authors) has/have even experienced hygge before. And in seeing what free books he offers in the beginning of the Kindle version (about how to manifest money), I think that he wasn't the right person to write about something like this and may have just been jumping on a band wagon to manifest some cash? I may receive hate for this, but it's just my opinion. I'll just stick to looking at blog posts and pinterest for my hygge and will be uninstalling and deleting this 73 page textbook.

1.0 out of 5 stars More like hygge headlines than a true hygge guidebook
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
Very light on actual description of hygge. Author doesn't delve into any faction of the hygge lifestyle but gives cliff note of hygge principles. More of a collection of hygge headlines with quick blurbs that are often not even scratching the surface of the emotion and reasoning behind the hygge idea.
