"New York Times bestselling author Isabel Gillies picks up where our cultural fascination with hygge leaves off in this fresh and inspiring look on the subtle art of cozy: Part manifesto, part lifestyle guide, part memoir, Cozy shows readers that true comfort comes from within"--

To be truly cozy, Gillies argues, means learning to identify the innermost truth of yourself and carrying it into the world, no matter your environment. From old family recipes and subway rides to jury duty and hospital stays, Gillies shows readers that true ease stems 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. -- adapted from back cover
