A Holistic Sense of Home: A Quick Guide to Designing A Better Quality of Life

"Home is more than a house. It is a sacred location, a place of aspiration and dreams, of learning and habit, of relationships and heart. Home is the geography of our souls." --Diana Butler Bass, Grounded: Finding God in the World; A Spiritual RevolutionTransform your daily experiences and more with the holistic design approach in this book. Many of us who want and actively pursue optimal well-being often overlook the pervasive impact of our home spaces. If you feel you may be missing a piece - or peace - for the uplifting lifestyle and the quality of life you want and deserve, you may find it at home. With our daily environments, we set up behavioral patterns and internal responses that can help or interfere with our well-being at every level. Thought leaders such as Deepak Chopra and Dan Buettner of Blue Zones fame have addressed the importance of designing indoor spaces to stack the deck in favor of a happy, healthy life. Big business, institutions, and specialty industries have effectively used many of these principles for decades. This book gives you pragmatic tips and an easy-to-understand framework to apply them at home. Whatever your personal style, A Holistic Sense of Home is an inspiring guide to go beyond fragmented, superficial approaches to your design dilemmas.
