Summary

Is your life so crazy busy that you don’t even remember the last time you sat down and got to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea? 

Remember those carefree days when you sat for hours talking with your girlfriends or your buddies without interruption? Remember how you felt? Happy. Relaxed. Content. Comfortable. It was just you and them. 

That level of happiness is Hygge. 

Hygge (pronounced hue-guh) is the simple, stress-free lifestyle that the Danish and Norwegians have been living for centuries. Denmark and Norway both regularly rank in the top three happiest countries in the world and Hygge is the main reason why. 

Hygge has more to do with the emotional happiness experienced by developing a relaxed, stress-free way of life and less to do with acquiring monetary possessions. 

In this book, you will be shown how you can easily implement the Hygge way of life regardless of where you live and the amount of money in your bank account. 

Learn how everyday interactions with friends and family can help you practice the principles of Hygge. 

Even with today’s hectic lifestyle, that simple, stress-free lifestyle is something that can easily be obtained. By simply making one small change a day, you can easily live the Hygge lifestyle. Best of all, this book shows you how these changes don’t have to cost you anything. 

Hygge encourages you to value moments and experiences over money and meaningless possessions. 

To help you easily incorporate Hygge into your life, a 21 Days of Hygge Challenge is included in the book. In just three short weeks, you can replace your harried life with one of calm and tranquility. 

It is never too late to start living the calming Hygge lifestyle. Get your copy today to start the 21 Days of Hygge Challenge and start living the relaxed, less stressful Hygge lifestyle.

Good reference

I love the idea of Hygge & how good it is for you.
I do believe I practice a few of these things & I can say a lot is common sense. But it’s good to have it here as a reference & to be able to listen to when I need a reminder to chill & breathe.

A good book to keep around, short & sweet.
Narrator was good, clear & bouncy.

Loved This Book

Loved this! I did the audible version that is narrated by Sarah DaMetz, she has a lovely voice, and its great to hear the correct pronunciation of the terms used in the book. Learning to incorporate hygge in your life starts with this book! Will be purchasing her other books in the future.

Very interesting

I found this book full of titbits of information that I could use in my daily life. I had heard of Hygge before but never really embraced it at home. I enjoyed following the 21-Day challenge and have found it has changed some aspects of my daily life. An enjoyable read for anyone interested in improving their home environment.

Quick and Easy

I enjoyed this listen, it was quick and easy and gave a nice overview of this concept. It took a while to get into it though, not sure if it was the writing or the narrator.
