Meh. I read 16 pages in a month and just never felt like picking it up. I found the font too small also but that’s just a personal preference thing and not a mark against the book

Saw this book at a cute local bookstore and it instantly caught my attention because I LOVE the Little Book of Hygge. Listened to it on audiobook and took away some good nuggets of wisdom on how to create more lasting memories. I already make an effort to seek out new experiences so I think that making experiences/moments multi-sensory and finding new milestones to enjoy are really good ways for me personally to take action on the ideas presented in the book.
I do wish the book was a TAD shorter since it had a lot of research studies included, but overall was satisfied with the book.

I like the book but not even close to as much as i liked The Little Book of Hygge. I guess it's because this book talks mainly about the past, moments that happen and how to remember them, whereas Hygge talks about creating those moments that are going to become some of the best memories of our lives.
It's the difference between anticipation, excitement, newness, the deliciousness of the present moment, the potential that holds every second, encounter ....and the nostalgia, the past, the reminiscences.
I prefer the promise of the now, the anticipation, the living of the moment. I do treasure my memories, but I love creating new ones, rather than talking about them for an entire book.

This was an easy 5-stars. Such a wonderful little book full of wisdom and sweet anecdotes (plus some pretty good advice!). I have a couple of other books by Wiking and can't wait to dig into them. Highly recommend to all readers :)

I think it’s an amazing book. Really helps you get new tools to use in your everyday life. I was so happy when I finally dug it out from my shelf after having forgotton it for so long. I would recommend it to anybody who has a hard time remebering. Even just someone who is trying to make their memories more vivid, and more of an experience.

I really enjoyed reading about all of the things that make up our happiest memories. There are so many examples in this book, it's impossible not to come away with some ideas for your own ways to make more happy memories. We can really never have enough happy memories. I will be using some of these suggestions to make more of my days memorable.

Less science, more self help. This book shares some great, though sometimes obvious, tips for making, preserving and recalling memories. If you want an event to be memorable, try serving an interesting food or filling the room with a scent that will always take guests back to that day. Want to remember happy moments more often? Prepare for them, take your time and pay attention when they do happen. Want to create happy memories? Travel, do new things and occasionally leave your element. Remember to talk about your day at night, then later in the week, then later again -- recalling the stories helps preserve the memories (even if the story is completely made up, as evidenced by false memories). To get the whole family in on your memory adventure, ask a loved one to tell you about a memory they have, take a "memory walk," or recreate old memories with your children (if applicable). Finally, take pictures and print them out so they don't get lost in the cloud, never to be viewed again.
Can you remember all of that?
