01 Why this book
Your home is whereyou spend your life.
Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Most of that time is at home, breathing its air, drinking its water and sleeping in its rooms.
Builders see what owners never do. I wrote this book so you can see it too, and ask for a home that is good to live in, not only good to look at.

Proven, promising, hype
How to sort wellness ideas for a home, and why to know which is which before you spend money.

Before you build or renovate
What to ask, what to plan early because it costs little then, and what costs a lot once the walls are closed.
