This was an ok read. Touched on a few different topics but occasionally felt repetitive and preachy (

This is NOT another book on how to Hygge. Rather, it is an exploration of the energetics of the lifestyle you create when you want to live more "cozy" in the most expansive definition of the word. There are many suggestions you will find in the coffee-table style books, but these are simply used as examples of how to tune into and raise your energetic frequency.
It's a unique take on the concept that I enjoyed exploring.
There is a lot of information in this book that readers new to this concept can use as a jumping-off point to further their exploration on creating a sense of cozy. (

I got to read an early e book edition from NetGalley. The version of the book I saw has no pictures. There is a lot of information about Hygge and other similar concepts in this book but I always appreciate some colorful pictures in a book like this.

This book focuses a lot on a New Age side to Hygge and Hygge-like concepts. It’s a lot about focusing inward rather than on environment.
That’s a neutral comment not a negative one. What you like in a book of this style could be different than what I like.
There is surely plenty of information. It’s just not in a format that I love. (
