Join us at our Middleburg Heights Branch for a conversation with Annie Guest, author of "Design For Your Mind: How a Family Caregiver and Mental Health Therapist Renovated Her Home to Recharge Her Life - and Didn't Break the Bank."Register: https://attend.cuyahogalibrary.org/event/14225198
Guest had a varied career in book publishing, advertising, and law, before she took another jump to work as a mental health therapist and publish her first book. In "Design For Your Mind," Guest combines her passion for people and their potential with her love for interior design and her appreciation for the design choices that support mental health.
"Design For Your Mind" takes us step-by-step through the renovation that jumpstarted her creativity, refreshed her life, and allowed her to mourn her parents. Using 95 “before” and “after” photos accompanied by easy-to-follow explanations of the science of good interior design, Guest helps us discover the true purpose of each room and how it can promote healthy living.
Design for your emotional health. Good home design can fulfill the needs of its inhabitants, everything from safe zones for children explore their own interests, to fostering a sense of independence for adolescents, to giving busy adults spots to unwind from the pressures of daily life.
Design for your mental health. Working from home removes the separation between you and the outside world. Creating clear areas for work and relaxation can help maintain balance and calm anxiety.
Design for your creativity. Every adult needs a place to play, no matter what your hobbies, but good design also allows you to express your personality, tastes and values through thoughtfully curated choices.
Design for your future. Aging in place—and staying healthy and productive while you do it—can be achieved with good home design.
This is more than a book of inspired, affordable interior design. It’s a guide for anyone facing a new beginning who wants to recreate a home that supports well-being, self-expression and personal empowerment. It’s a reminder that taking care of ourselves by taking care of our home is a worthy focus, and even in the most difficult of times, our homes can bring us satisfaction, good mental health and joy.
