Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The desire to live in a comfortable home is one of the most basic and fundamental urges we have. We spend much love and attention on making our home as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as possible.#2 The war of attrition on any living space that isn’t perfect has become more and more common in recent decades. We feel under pressure to have the most up-to-date kitchen, the most upscale waterfall shower in our bathroom, and the very latest swing set on our patio.#3 The essential task of keeping one’s family warm and sheltered is already achievable within the confines of the average kitchen, even if it doesn’t have a five-burner stove. However, sometimes our kitchens are turned into fashion statements or pawns in our family’s rivalry with the Joneses.#4 The industry of making consumers feel they should buy more and more things has developed around the idea of making us feel we should own more and more things, whether we need them or not.
