“Beautifully written with warmth and heart, Cozy is a balm for hard
times. As Isabel Gillies reminds us, our everyday choices have
enormous power to make our lives happier, more fulfilling, and more
in tune with what makes us genuinely us. Move over hygge—the age of
Cozy is here!” — Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of
Habit and Smarter Faster Better
“Gillies has managed to define what I thought was not definable” —
Lena Dunham
“In this fun tribute to that snugly feeling, Gillies blends
first-person essays and travelogues, recipes, and tips to show that
coziness isn’t all about blankets and candles. It’s a way of
looking at the world in a new light.” — Real Simple

decluttered.” — New York Times Book Review
“Cozy is a guide to living your life on the warm, fuzzy line
between hygge and Marie Kondo.” — Sam Sifton

Happiness Project.” — GOOP

discomfort in the world by discovering one’s inner cozy.” — Library
Journal
