Hygge is the loveliest concept and I was surprised to learn how many of my “simple pleasures” are already aligned with the practice.

How can you not love a book that teaches you how to live well. Also it has 100% convinced me to visit Denmark some day. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, ‘Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasure that occur every day than in great pieces of good fortunes that happen but seldom.’
Want to be happy like the Danes?
Go to your woodland cabin getaway and sit in front of a fire wearing a scarf and woolen socks drinking coffee and eating cake while burning half a dozen candles and watching the box set of your favorite show next to the super expensive lamp that emits as much light as one of your candles.

I mean, this intro was nothing I couldn't find on the internet. It was boring and not original. Pretty photos, anyway.
My goodness, how does knowing the Danish word for cozy create a trend? Who is falling for this? Everyone in the world already has these habits, so this books is redundant and silly. Calling something by a different name doesn’t reinvent the wheel. I and everyone I know does 98% of what’s in this book. I don’t ride a bike everywhere, but I want to see you ride a bike to work in North Dakota in -30 and 2 feet of snow in winter. Ha! ND has a lot of Norwegian heritage but that means nothing. I’m from TN and my husband is from CA and these are people’s habits all over the US.
Basically, this book comes down to two things: the reason all Danes are so darned happy is the welfare state and safe spaces. Haha whatever. The idea of “safe spaces” is already ruining a new generation (and every American University) who is afraid of the big wide world and encountering people who might have different opinions than them, and the welfare state has proven time and again to cause more problems than it supposedly fixes, not to mention making everyone in society lazy moochers. We all already know what makes a home comfy and homey, so I guess when all the socialist moochers eventually can’t function under the inevitable burden of “adulting” they have a place to hide and pet kittens.
So glad I didn’t pay for this stupid book.

I LOVE the concept of hygge and enjoyed learning more about Danish culture through this book. I appreciate how the book was organized, fun graphics, recipes, and the author's humor. I can't pinpoint why I didn't love this book and why it took me so long to get through when it's a quick read (the visuals take up quite a bit of space).
