Hygge: Unlock the Danish Art of Coziness and Happiness by Barbara Hayden

lighthearted fast-paced

1.5

This reads poorly, like someone watched a bunch of YouTube videos and decided they were going to write a blog post and then decided to publish the blog post. I can't find anything on this author, but I feel strongly that they absolutely are not Danish. Feels more like a rich suburban American housewife who is trying to make a photo perfect house, superficial and anything of merit is brief. Very repetitive also.
Hygge is a great idea, just pick a way better book. Preferably an author who is Danish
