Hygge Reading Review: The Little Book of Hygge

This book is a must for the hygge-section of your bookshelf--and an absolute joy to read. Meik Wiking's international bestseller perfectly articulates what hygge is and ways to add hygge to your life.

The Little Book of Hygge is the holy grail of hygge literature. As I began falling in love with hygge and exploring how to make a hygge life of my own, this book was my sidekick and spirit guide. It's insanely approachable--it's an easy read sprinkled with precious illustrations. I still refer to it today, especially the hygge manifesto (it's seriously so cute) in which Wiking outlines the 10 basic factors that go into creating hygge.

To really take advantage of this book I suggest first reading it the whole way through, because it's the most adorable book and I couldn't put it down. Then just take the book one small step at a time and experiment with each of the aspects Wiking touches. 

And of course supplement with your friends here at Hygge Folk to make hygge your own!
