About this product

Product Information

"One of the best guides to creating a more socially connected and rewarding life." --Shelf Awareness Whether you're seeking mindfulness gifts, meditation gifts, or are looking for a way to bring calm and comfort into your home, hygge is the solution. Hygge (hoo-gah) is a Danish word for a feeling of being warm, safe, comforted, and sheltered--an experience of belonging to the moment and to each other. When life gets hectic, work grows stressful, and the days fly by, unplug and tune in. This definitive guide to hygge deserves a place on your coffee table--and in your heart. Hygge anchors us, reminding us to slow down, to connect with place and with one another, to dwell and savor rather than rush and spend. When you curl up by the fire with a blanket, or have a simple meal with friends, that is hygge. When you acknowledge the sacred in the secular, or focus on people rather than things, or when you express love through small gestures, that is hygge. The Book of Hygge is an invitation to welcome abundance and contentment into your life. It is a call to live more fully by focusing on what moves you. This beautiful gift book is packed with full-color photographs and instructive meditations on relishing the everyday. It is your essential guide to cultivating the coziness that has made Danes the happiest people in the world. A perfect gift, The Book of Hygge is designed with an unjacketed, textured cover and crisp, clean interiors. As seen in the The New Yorker .

  • The Philosophy of Hygge

    The Danish term "hygge" is an essentially simple word, used to describe a sense of coziness, comfort and the joy of snuggling at home with family and friends. This book is like an extended definition of the term, starting with the etymology of the word "hygge" and going on to share quotes from authors, philosophers, poets and other historical personalities on the merits of contentment, simplicity and inner peace. This is all well and good and makes for quite an intellectual assessment of the subject. This book's shortcoming is that there are not enough actual steps/practices to guide readers in how to achieve this condition of inner satisfaction. Some recipes would have been nice, or perhaps a list of activities that can help bring readers to a sense of what "hygge" truly means. ...
