Book Reviews of The Not So Big House: A Blueprint for the Way We Really Live
Book Review: A wonderful book about spirit, beauty & values at home.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. First I was drawn to the pictures which tell their own story of how our homes could be - for a wide audience, not just the rich and famous. I think our souls crave beauty and warmth because we are surrounded with so much that is cold, artificial and an assault on our senses. Second, when I started reading, I found so much that affirmed what I think is an emerging rethinking of our value structure. The tone though is one of telling the truth with compassion, not attacking people for their previous choices. Susanka addresses lots of practical issues from kids areas to storage to the placement of TV's and the use of sustainable resources. She advices how to think globally while acting locally in your own home. It's great stuff. She is enhancing a great paradigm in the Frank Lloyd Wright tradition. We deserve sustainable, personalized beauty and function rather than the packaged houses that are on the market at the moment. I strongly recommend this book.
