Cosiness becomes a type of mindfulness if you let it and this book is full of ways to make your life more cosy. A self help book I can completely get on board with! ( ) Picked this book up at the library because it was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about bunk beds. The wordy, descriptive, emotionally enticing prose of the quote appealed to me. I had hoped for a step-by-step approach to making my dwelling cozy. Instead this book is more a philosophy of cozy with lots of the author's stream of consciousness on various topics related to objects and places that she finds cozy. The book was a peek into the mind of someone whose mind works very differently than mine. It was an interesting visit. I found value in the first part of the book but felt that she went way off topic as the book progressed. Still I think I can extract a few helpful principles to aid in my quest for making a cozy dwelling. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
When we talk about being cozy, most of us think of a favorite sweater or a steaming cup of tea on a rainy day. But to Isabel Gillies, coziness goes beyond mere objects. To be truly cozy, she argues, means learning to identify the innermost truth of yourself and carrying it into the world, no matter your environment. Starting when she was young, Gillies has gradually learned the art and subtle beauty of creating a life where you feel safe, steadied, and at home in the world. From old family recipes and subway rides to jury duty and hospital stays, in Cozy Gillies shows readers that true ease stems not with throw pillows and a candle, but from opportunities to feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and learn to make ourselves at home no matter where we are. Simple choices can make a hectic life or an uncomfortable situation just a little more comfortable-you just have to know what to do. Just as Marie Kondo offered a philosophy for how to tidy, Gillies offers a new way of occupying the spaces we live in. Starting with yourself, then broadening to your home, your community, and the world at large, Cozy will show you how to bring the truth of who you are into any situation, easy or challenging. As Gillies says, "Cozy isn't something that just exists. You have to make cozy happen." Written with profound warmth and featuring hand-drawn illustrations, this wise, necessary book is call to action for each of us to seek out those often-missed opportunities to care for ourselves, and to begin living a more intimate and authentic life.
