The Swedes have <em>lagom</em>. Now, Laura Weir, a beloved lifestyle journalist and editor-in-chief of <em>London Evening Standard</em>'s weekly <em>ES </em>magazine, introduces American readers to the Brits' best-kept secret--coziness--an indulgent, luxurious, yet unfussy way of creating comfort and joy.<br/></strong><br/><em>Cosy</em> is "the slacker's guide to staying at home, an antidote to peak frazzle." With trademark Anglo cheekiness, Laura Weir perfectly captures the British essence of cosy. She celebrates socks, warms to the joys of toasty open fires, and extols the virtues of a quiet walk, ultimately enticing us all to create the British magic of cosy in our everyday lives.</p><p>With more than 140 whimsical illustrations and interviews with British lifestyle experts, including Melissa Hemsley, Sophie Dahl, and Dolly Alderton, <em>Cosy</em> is a perfect reminder to slow down, have a cuppa, and settle in when life pushes you into overdrive.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In breezy chapters complemented by charming illustrations, Weir evangelizes on the joys of quotidian pleasures such as warm feet, warm fires and, obviously, tea. . . . <em>Cosy</em> might be British, but warm, fuzzy feelings are universal. . . . Good for overworked and over-socialized brains."--<strong><em>The Washington Post</em></strong><br><br>"The American market has been inundated with bossy little books in which other countries tell us how to behave. But I'm an Anglophile, and I was drawn to this one. I particularly enjoyed the chapter 'Cosy and Kind, ' where Weir indirectly lays out the connection between duty and love."--<strong><em>The New York Times</em></strong><br>
