Hm. ?áOk, first know that I only heard of Lowell via a (somewhat disparaging) comment on an article in ApartmentTherapy.com. ?áI have not read the 7 Layers book, and did not realize until I finished turning the pages of this that he did summarize them in an appendix. ?áI don't have a TV, but I found Lowell charming in this book and may use YouTube to check out some of his program.

But maybe I won't, because his taste differs from mine far too much to be likely to be relevant, and I don't ?áunderstand all this building of empty boxes to be beds and seats and shelves for dust collectors. ?áBut maybe I will, because I really liked the questionnaire he offered to get us started on thinking about what our dreams really are. ?áBut maybe I won't, because he didn't actually guide us how to turn our own dreams into reality. ?áI dunno. ?áI don't think the book was worth my effort to bring it home from the library but I don't feel angry about the time wasted. ?á

And I do have his Small Spaces book right here, so I guess I'll look through that before returning it. ?áThen I'm probably done with him. ?áI think.?á ( )

When you read this book you will want to read all the others. Christopher Lowell is so creative and full of fun. Reading the book really is like making a new friend. It's very down to earth and the best part is,if you like what you see in there, you really CAN do it. ( )
