This sweet book defines what "hygge" (pronouned "hoo-gah") is and give advice on promoting a cozy hygge feeling in your everyday life. Finding joy in small things and celebrating each moment is the way to embrace happiness with hygge. Doing everyday tasks with mindfulness and gratitude is hygge. The illustrations show cute little drawings of a fireplace, candles, family photos, a warm cup of tea, or a book, a cat sleeping on an armchair, a plant on a windowsill, warm mittens, a bike, a picnic, a piece of cake, and a hundred other little things that embody the spirit of hygge. The pastels colors are muted and calm. There are chapters about using hygge in self-care, in your home, with your family, at your workplace, and in daily life. Covering topics like sharing meals with family, hosting parties, expressing yourself through art, choosing hygge clothing, eating mindfully, lighting candles, arranging furniture, your work atmosphere at your desk, and keeping a good work-life balance. With gentle advice and suggestions for a more peaceful life, this book is perfect for anyone who wants a little more joy in their life. Making small changes can have a big impact on your life, your relationships, and your home environment.

This guided journal begins each 3-page chapter with a few paragraphs on yoga sutras, philosophies of peace, or a proverb of wisdom for the reader to contemplate. Then the reader is encouraged to set an intention for their yoga practice to apply the wisdom to their own lives and reflect on their own spirit. And a few prompts are provided with a blank page where the reader can record their thoughts and introspection about the topic. The first section of daily meditations focuses on tuning in to yourself and recognizing your own energy, and then there are sections for tapping into the observing witness within yourself, letting go of worries and embracing truth, practicing self-care and compassion, and finally extending grace to yourself and others. I really liked how the meditations gradually take you deeper into a more positive mind-set, opening up your inner thoughts and providing healing. This is a great companion to a yoga practice! The teachings are rooted in Sankrit words and ideas, but most of them could apply to anyone of any religion or philosophy. There is only one lesson that I found which describes Brahma as god and says that god is in everything including inside ourselves. That teaching I do not agree with. However, most of the lessons are not really religious but philosophical, using universal truths that do not include religious beliefs. The lessons include things like telling the truth, releasing fear, showing compassion and generosity to others, not letting your emotions bully you, and not relying on physical things to bring you happiness, but instead finding joy in your inner soul. I would just skip over those couple of lessons that have a religious message, and only read the ones that are more general philosophy.
