This book is Simply Amazing. I found myself actually relaxing as I read it. Everyone is in the search for happiness but yet sometimes we just have to sit back and watch it come to us. I love the approach that this book took it’s different than anything that I’ve ever read before. I won’t even tell you how different it is but I would highly highly suggest that if you’re searching for happiness that you get this book and read it. Read it as soon as you can.
This is an interesting book to read, and the concept presented opened my eyes to new concepts and ways to think.

Love this book! Very inspiring!
This was a really interesting book. I’ve heard of Hygge before, but never really delved into it. This book tells you everything you need or want to know and I highly recommend it.

The good: I learned a lot about a subject I had no knowledge on, before. The author is earnest and genuine and truly believes in her subject. You want to believe her.
The bad: I get that it is very difficult to explain what hygge IS. Maybe it is like good art or pornography…you know it when you see it. But if ANYTHING can be hygge, then what is the purpose of the book? You could theoretically sum up the entire book in about 5 pages. Yes, there is LOADS of filler material, here. Most of it can be illustrative. But it is also largely forgettable. In essence, it sounds like hygge is just a good balance of healthy living, doing things you enjoy. (There…I condensed my five pages into one sentence). So I am not sure that the remaining 99.9% of the book is really all that helpful.
The ugly: Since I received an ARC version of this, I am truly hoping that the version going into print will have been edited, AFTER I saw it. The version I saw was absolutely riddled with typos. Not the kind of typos that a spell-checker would catch. But there were SO many of them. Words like “no,” when the author meant “not.” The words used are not spelled incorrectly, in most cases. But it is clearly not the word that the author was intending to use. There are also sentences where the words are transposed. A good editor would have caught ALL of these things. It appears that a good editor was not used.
An idealistic concept but unrealistic to maintain for many cultures
by Dkrtist
First, let me state that I love the concept of Hygge and have experienced it intensely through moments of intense happiness brought on by a feeling, a memory, a specific smell and certain spaces. My description of hygge would be moments in time when everything is right and perfect at that specific place and time. I understand that the concept of hygge is to try to create, live in and experience comfort and happiness at all times though I don’t believe that life is simple enough to do this. I think the concept of Hygge is wonderful but I don’t believe it can be achieved continually on a daily basis. Life is hard and all cultures are different although there may be similarities within different cultures. My biggest problem with the book was that it felt like an attack on American culture. Had the title been inclusive of America finding hygge or something like that it wouldn’t have felt like Americans were singled out in the book. I also found some statements in the book to be contradictory. For example, stating that being or exercising outdoors is better than going to the gym. What if some people love going to the gym and aren’t crazy about being outdoors. For those people, wouldn’t going to the gym be hygge? I feel like hygge is a fancy way of saying happiness and, even though not everyone strives for hygge and because hygge is a cultural concept and people know what is good and bad for them, some people just thrive on the stresses of everyday life and even enjoy doing so. Hygge is a fabulous solution to life’s everyday stresses but it’s not easy to achieve and even harder to maintain for most people. The several times I have experienced hygge were like instant bliss but other times that I felt absolutely content I would consider to be hygge but they weren’t maintainable. So, as much as I’d like to live a hygge lifestyle I think so much of it depends on culture, environment and lifestyle and for many people, it’s just not practical. The concept of the book is great but I think more emphasis should have been put on realistic ways to implement it for people. Let’s face it, people who are worrying about how they are going to pay their bills, put food on the table or where they are going to live because they’ve lost their home are far from living the hygge lifestyle.
No, hygge is not translated to be happy, but I can appreciate the difficulty of translating concepts between languages. The author presents a valiant effort at translating the Danish concept reflected in the title word that defines why the Danish consistently rank among the happiest nations on earth. For me, the simple description of a cup of hot cocoa in the evenings to help relax and unwind encapsulated the idea. Going into the winter in the US and a habitual guilty practitioner of trying to cram too much activity into every day, this simple practice is a game-changer for me and was a simple stepping-stone into the concept.
If the hot chocolate example doesn’t work for you, the author provides a great deal more description, examples, and applications, at least one of which will help you apply this practice into your daily living. This short book was an easy read and provided many such tips to experience a happier life from wherever you happen to find yourself. These aren’t pat woo-woo, think-positive concepts, but rather a different way of thinking as you engage in your everyday life and prioritize your focus. A good introduction to a complicated subject to explain, but not a complex practice to adopt.
I enjoyed this quick read about how to turn my home into my personal sanctuary. I like the definition that it is the absence of what annoys or stresses you, rather than a specific formula. My sanctuary is very different than someone else’s and making our homes as emotionally-nurturing as possible is most important this year with all the stress that has descended upon the whole world. This book goes into the psychology of hygge and how it affects people’s wellbeing.
There are many ways to embrace hygge that are mentioned in this book. For instance, it touches on how electronics and their accompanying notifications and pings can increase our anxiety, and how simple mindfulness can bring a smile to your face. While fancy pricey candles are fun indulgences, it costs nothing to take a walk outside or borrow a library book to sit and read while wearing your favorite pair of socks.
I think there are many nuggets to be had in this book, and it is an enjoyable read.

Hygge is not a prescription but it is an approach that, if applied can find you smiling more often as you go through your day
This book will not make you happy, it will not provide a one day read where you wake up the following day wiser. What it will do though is provide a series of mini guidelines. These guides provide an approach to the discovery of happiness. It may even help you find some gems that help you gain wisdom.
Each chapter is a review of how to apply this approach to life called Hygge to different aspects of your life. Each of us have unique goals and objectives. These define our steps forward to achieve them.
The author recognizes the necessity of that what we need is an approach, not a prescription. With practical adoption of these perspectives, one may learn new discoveries about themselves.
Life is not an event, but an experience. It is through those accumulated moments that we will discover what the Danes define as Hygge. These feelings can help you discover why life is full of so many wonderful opportunities.
All you have to do is remember to breathe along the way. Take in the moment, appreciate it’s simplicity and watch a smile spread across your face.
I have enjoyed this book. I expect if you apply the approaches as you read it, you too will discover it’s secrets. I believe the author’s book is a good tool to add to your library of keepers. It has in mine.

So many of our lives have been disrupted and uncertain recently with crises on many fronts: health, politics, race relations, and climate change. As the potential for stress rises, it’s a good time to learn about Hygge and how to make it a part of your life.
I recommend Hygge: Discovering The Danish Art Of Happiness by Olivia Telford. There is no direct translation of the word Hygge. The easiest way to learn its meaning is to curl up in a comfortable spot with your favorite beverage and read this book. Just reading it has the potential to lower your blood pressure and lead you closer to understanding why Denmark is known as one of the happiest countries in the world.
You will find countless examples and ideas for bringing Hygge into your daily life. I suggest that you highlight the ideas that appeal to you and take notes to record your own insights. Hygge can be different for each individual. There are no rules. You will be inspired to create your personal definition of what Hygge is for you. Find your way to a more relaxed and productive life.
I’d heard a bit about hygge before, but Olivia Telford’s Hygge: Discovering the Danish Art of Happiness – How to Live Cozily and Enjoy Life’s Simple Pleasures goes much deeper than merely making one’s home a little cozier and more pleasant. As “the deep-felt necessity of relaxing our souls,” Telford makes a strong case for exporting what has primarily been a Scandinavian concept, embracing hygge as an approach to all aspects of life. With extensive examples, she outlines the fundamentals and benefits, and captures the importance of bringing the essence and feeling of hygge into wherever we find ourselves, whatever we do, and whoever we interact with.

“Hygge: Discovering The Danish Art Of Happiness – How To Live Cozily And Enjoy Life’s Simple Pleasures” by Olivia Telford is a nice and easy introduction to the concept of Hygge. Hygge is Danish and Norwegian word that loosely translates as ‘coziness’ and/or ‘wellness’ and correlates with a very Scandinavian way to take life day by day and enjoy the moment to its fullest.
Olivia Telford focuses her book on modern Denmark, its traditions and modern implementation of Hygge. The book doesn’t get into specific history or the philosophy of Hygge as such, it is first and foremost a practical implementation guide to help the readers to get acquainted with the concept and incorporate some elements to their specific needs. In a fast-moving world, in which specially the younger generations are constantly fighting stress and neglecting their own mental health, this book offers a new helpful perspective on how to enjoy more satisfying life, by embracing the concept of slowing one and appreciate the moment. Easy enough Scandinavians, which are considered the happiest people in the world, have been doing it already for generations
A lifestyle worth exploding!
Great concept, but repetitive. The same thing was said several different ways.
