I read this book only to the beginning of chapter six. I disliked the very term-paper style of writing, the grammatical errors, and the general handling of the subject. While not quite poorly written, but far less than exceedingly well-written, this supposed manual to living a Hygge lifestyle seems to be focused on material goods being bad and clutter as some sort of moral failing.
We’re expected not to spend money on Things, but have only certain Things that give us happiness, comfort, or "hyggeness".
I stopped reading where it said that a low score on their “hyggeness test” means you’re headed for a mental breakdown. As someone who struggles with mental illness I found this hellaciously offensive and just plain wrong. While there is some merit to having a clean home, sometime reality differs from desire.
So, to the DNF pile, she goes.
Maybe someone else will find this helpful, but Hygge isn’t going to stop me from being depressed. Medication, therapy, and a good support system will.
Take your meds, folks.
