  • Perfectly timed!
With all of us spending more time at home due to COVID-19 and worrying about health more generally, this book is the perfect home companion to help improve wellness at home, whether you own or rent. Wellness by Design is a well-organized, well-written and very useful how-to book addressing practical steps you can take now to improve your health in your home and reduce risk factors. I found its room-by-room approach helped me get over the initial hurdle for any book like this, which is breaking down a big topic into small projects that are doable in a COVID-crazed period when demands upon our time are many. Its discussion of the different health properties of different materials is something I have never encountered before and one I hope to implement when we remodel our kitchen area. I also think it is a great gift idea for someone else -- it shows you care about their health and who doesn't want to know more about how to make their living space better and more healthful! I highly recommend it -- Dave Tobenkin ... show more

  • Not What I Thought!
The book was ok in that it discussed features concerning organizational aspects of creating space, but if you already are living in a house, most of the changes would be too late.

  • FULL OF WONDERFUL IDEAS EASY TO IMPLEMENT
Extremely informative book full of great ideas for the home regardless of where you may be in your home upgrade process. I completed a gut and remodel of my small home a few years ago and vowed not to make any changes or spend another dollar on it for at least a decade; however, this book convinced me otherwise. I implemented several of its suggestions on how to organize and personalize my home which indeed contributed to my contentment with a smile; likewise, I also made some of the suggested small inexpensive upgrades which improved my physical comfort and sense of security. I highly recommend this book. You will be challenged to read it and not desire to go forward with at least a few positive changes to your home. ... show more

  • Go for the Gold
Jamie Gold is a leading voice in the architecture & design industry, and particularly kitchen & bath (she's a Certified Kitchen Designer through the NKBA). I've read her work for years, and stay apprised of her column on Forbes.com. Her latest book - Wellness by Design - is great. Following a lot of research, she dives into the intersection between interior design and wellness, laying out the 5 facets of wellness design. They're all important considerations, as our homes should not only reflect our aesthetic tastes and preferences, but also support our health and wellbeing. It's a great resource for homeowners and design enthusiasts. ... show more
