quicksilvermoon 's review for:
The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well
by Meik Wiking
I've been enjoying the cozy aesthetics of my favourite Bookstagrammer @shewalksinfiction for a couple of years now - her love for sepia tones, rustic cottagecore elements, a good read and a warm bevvie. I see an increase in interest amongst my younger friends for ASMR and scented candles. These are all things I naturally gravitate towards, without ever questioning why.
This little book - a milestone birthday gift from my darling husband, provided the answer in one word: hygge. The Danish idea of comfort, belonging and 'coziness', all tied to this happiest of nations. What are the secrets behind a lifetime of joy?
Part photo book, part recipe book, with little lists and fun infographics woven together with a little bit of ethnography, reading this itself was hygge. Did I come away illuminated? A little, although so much of the advice is only applicable if you're a financially secure, able-bodied cisgender white man, there's useful wisdom here that one can apply to one's life, no matter where one is. Save this for when you need a cheery pick-me-up!
