review 1: This is more of an endorsement for Edith Wharton's Fullness of Life, which is great, but I didn't want a book endorsement. This book is okay. I like the idea of compartmentalizing my life (which I already do) and using a house to illustrate it, however, I think in order to be a full, actualized person, you shouldn't compartmentalize your life. I should be able to think about my infected toenail in any damn room I please because it affects every aspect of my life, not just one part.I think the push for compartmentalizing is what causes people to read books about finding happiness and forces people to search for how to love themselves. Let's just be full and complete people and not let anyone tell us that we have to be this way in this area and that way in that ... morearea.
review 2: The book itself wasn't terribly amazing, but it did encourage some soul searching on my part. The way the book was set up, there were lots of "case studies" or examples from real women. Some of the scenarios I could relate to and really made me think, but most were things I couldn't really relate to (even though I'm pretty sure I'm the target audience: married with kids). It was a good book in that I now have some food for thought. less
