Publisher's summary

In this complete pocket guide to a hygge life, make your home a cozy oasis. Learn to cook, decorate, and host Danishly. Unlock the powers of relaxation and comfort. Get hygge recipes.

It’s time to slow down. It’s time to take stock of your life. It’s time to find out what really makes you happy. It’s time to re-prioritize and focus on what really matters. It’s time to spend time with the ones you love the most.

Hygge is the long-standing Danish tradition of living a cozy, happy life of hospitality, joy, and comfort. This book makes this tradition accessible to you in a new way. Instead of droning on about how you need to find inner peace and how you need to work less and play more, this book is packed with actionable strategies for making your life more hygge!

You will learn all about:

  • How to relax, hygge-style
  • How hygge can help you manage stress
  • Hygge cooking and baking and eating
  • Hygge hosting and entertaining
  • Decorating and turning your home into a hygge sanctuary
  • Hygge for the whole family
  • Better time management with hygge minimalism
  • Hygge and how it can make your more mindful

Plus! There is a bonus section with my favorite hygge comfort food recipes! Hot drinks, decadent sweets, and comforting snacks and bites, will make a great addition to your kitchen hygge ritual.

The secret to hygge is learning to draw happiness out of everything around you. This book talks you through the steps. You are free to live the life of your choosing, and you are free to enjoy it to the fullest. What are you waiting for?

Informative, interesting and obtainable

This is an amazing, informative read for those that aren't familiar with the Danish custom of peaceful living. And for those that are knowledgeable of this beautiful tradition, it's an easy little piece of reading comfort - complete with soothing recipes. I expect to be referring back to this, periodically, as I minimize and transform into a calmer state of living. I am looking forward to a calmer, quieter lifestyle, and will use this as my baseline.

Book for the cozy & content obsessed!!!!

Hygge is essentially the art of living a cozy life. In Hygge: the Danish Art of Coziness and Happiness, author, Barbara Hayden provides a compelling argument of how living a simple life mingled with comfort and simple pleasures are as essential to a joyful life as air is to our bodies.

A lovely book on Hygge!

It has so many beautiful photos, some fun recipes, and a lot of great information. My dad is a Danish immigrant and this book helps me get a glimpse of what makes him tick even after having lived in America for so many decades. The author did an amazing job of painting a romantic picture of what Hygge is all about, and how to achieve that in our homes. In a crazy, fast-paced world we could all use a little more Hygge! Pass coffee and marzipan, please!

loved the book

I adore this! Also just looking at the cover gives me Hygge. It's stunning. I have it on my coffee table for all to enjoy, and everyone who's been in my home since I bought this in December has not been able to help but pick it up and start reading.

Guide to Living Life To The Fullest


This is a quick read and I think worth your time. If you need to pull yourself away from work, connect with family and friends, spend time in nature, watch movies that help you unwind, enjoy treating yourself to a cup of tea or hot cocoa or a special coffee, but you're too busy, then do read this book. With a cuppa. And a candle!

Civility and warmth can change discourse


It focused less on the material coziness and more on the attitude of Hygge. I feel this is a very important aspect of Hygge during this age of division and creeping hate in our civil discourse. If we all work to manage our lives with the hygge spirit, we can make a difference in how our country treats people.
