Lynnette Wilhardt, MSW, LCSW We live in a complicated, fast-moving world.  It's easy to suffer from mental overload and hyper-stimulation.  Our psyche and emotions need a way to recover and be rejuvenated.  To do that, some people practice yoga or meditation and set aside time to bring their minds into a calm,centered state.  But you can design and arrange your home, the place where you spend the majority of your life, to be an external version of that state, one that easily moves you into a healthy frame of mind simply by occupying your home and interacting with the space.  In  The Well-Centered Home , you bring the conditions of meditation into every moment. Now renowned architect and bestselling author William Hirsch will show you how to create The Well-Centered Home , whether you rent a studio apartment or live in a mansion.
