Use this book to design your home, your neighborhood, gardens, paths, and more. It helps you recognize why people feel happy, comfortable and alive in certain places and not in others. Over 250 patterns with a problem, a discussion and a solution. For example, you wake with more energy if your bedroom faces east. A room with natural light from 2 sides or more will be used, less and it won't be used. Fascinating if you're interested in designing the physical spaces of your life.   posted Feb 25, 2013 at 7:41PM
