Cozy (eBook)

"e;Coziness is a state of mind"e; for the New York Times-bestseller of Happens Every Day, who has written a lifestyle guide as "e;a companion to Marie Kondo"e; (New York Times Book Review).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 of creating a life where you feel safe, steadied, and at home in the world. In Cozy Gillies shows readers that true ease stems from opportunities to feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.Simple choices can make a hectic life or an uncomfortable situation just a little more comfortable-you just have to know what to do. Gillies offers a new way of occupying the spaces we live in. Written with profound warmth and featuring hand-drawn illustrations, this wise, necessary book is call to action for each of us to begin living a more intimate and authentic life."e;Beautifully written with warmth and heart."e; -Charles Duhigg, New York Times-bestselling author of The Power of Habit "e;Gillies blends first-person essays and travelogues, recipes, and tips to show that coziness [is] a way of looking at the world in a new light."e; -Real Simple"e;A mashup of manifesto, lifestyle guide, memoir, observation, recipes. . . .
