I am studying this book with a highlighter and a pen. I agree with author's concepts completely. It feels right internally. The phrase, "[a]ddressing barriers to healing should begin in the privacy and comfort of our own homes and the places in which we work to ensure we build environments supportive of health and well-being[,]" from the book is my professional goal of the interior designer. This work is an excellent guide in the creation of healing designs. I highly recommend this book to other interior design professionals and anybody else because it opens the forgotten door in the design field called "Design for the Body, Mind & Spirit."

This book bridges the many aspects of life we take for granted but intuitively know, and combines it with sensitive design approaches that I haven't come across before.
Designers and members of a building team should consider many aspects of the environment to make a project a success-but often don't. This book touches upon everything from empowering a patient, removing the barriers, to the spirit within us.
It can be appreciated and used by the design industry as well as any person who recognizes the sensitivity needed for a healthy environment.
