Beautiful book to look at. The description inside of Forrest Gump lost it a star. Would’ve been a terrific pamphlet.

The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking offers a delightful and accessible guide to understanding and implementing the Danish concept of hygge. This book is a cozy invitation to embrace comfort, simplicity, and the art of creating warm, inviting spaces that nurture well-being and happiness. Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, does a fantastic job of breaking down the elements of hygge—from lighting and textures to food and social gatherings—making it easy for readers to incorporate hygge into their own lives.
Wiking's writing style is charming and conversational, peppered with anecdotes and research that make the book both informative and enjoyable. The visuals and illustrations also add to the reading experience, creating a sense of coziness that mirrors the concept itself. What makes The Little Book of Hygge stand out is its focus on the everyday and the simple things that contribute to happiness, such as the warmth of candlelight, the comfort of a good blanket, and the pleasure of sharing a meal with friends.
While the book is light and quick to read, it provides enough depth to inspire real lifestyle changes, helping readers to slow down and savor small moments. For anyone looking to bring more mindfulness, joy, and warmth into their daily routine, The Little Book of Hygge is an ideal introduction to this meaningful, life-enriching Danish philosophy.

A delightful little book. It's not going to change your life, but it's written well, charmingly designed and a short, pleasant read.
Didn't find this books very hygge
Reads like a ceo trying to be relatable and give advice on happiness and he is a ceo idk what we're expecting.
A lot of talk about corporate hygge, cake at the office, he tries not to schedule meetings at 4pm so people with kids can pick them up (it annoyed me he said try, like they have an option to leave their kids at school to have a meeting with him) - it would have been a good opportunity to talk about putting private life before work, but that was not mentioned. Suppose work life balance is not hygge? Can hygee as long as profits come in.
His mentions of his annual ski trips and international boys poker nights where they talk about everything: like women, etc. Is hygee rich bros lighting candles and having tea?
He loves the golden hour so much he fell in love with every woman who he ever took her photo in it. Heard women avoid meeting him during golden hour now.
The longer food takes to make the more hygge it is. Wine, candles, socks, scarfs, sweaters, cardigans, fashion advice, references to buy things online, etc it's all very consumerist and rich people glamorazing simple living.
Simple living without the struggles is hygee as far as I understand it.
Note I did only listen to chapter 5 so don't know if it gets better but I have lost trust in it.
