Unless you’re a Hobbit living in the Shire in the Third Age, life isn’t all that cozy. Through sickness, global chaos, financial strife, or a cornucopia of daily anxiety, existence is no cup of tea. Yes, adversity leads to growth — and the path to a rewarding life is not paved. But along that path, we all need to reset, to pause, to find that cozy place.
Inverse’s first Cozy Issue offers a guidepost to the comfortable, cathartic stops along the path of life. Leading the way we have Walker Scobell, the rising actor who plays the Son of Poseidon himself, Percy Jackson, whose battles with ancient monsters offer us a sense of nostalgic relief. We stop for a chilly bit of comfort with David Fincher; some holiday cheer with the ultimate optimist, Doctor Who; and a game or two with some Hobbits, the true masters of coziness.
So take a seat in your most comfortable chair and join us for a cozy journey. You’ve earned it.
