Design For Your Mind

Make room for your brilliant life.
Design For Your Mind by Annie Guest is a refreshing look at how we can create spaces to support our emotional and intellectual needs-now, and for the rest of our lives.
Annie Guest tells how she drew on her background as a mental health therapist to renovate her house and recharge her life after years of family caregiving. She takes us through her process, room by room, always with an eye to pursuing the purpose of the room and its potential to support creativity and focus and promote healthy living. Annie shows how she achieved big results without spending a fortune. The book is filled with some 95 'Before' and 'After' photos and stories, and discussions of the science behind good design are lively and easy to follow.
Design For Your Mind is an absorbing dive into what we humans need to thrive, and it's sure to spark your ideas for meeting those needs with design choices for your own home. Whether you're designing rooms to promote your focus and creativity, creating a space that helps you stay organized and productive, or switching things up to give yourself a lift, Design For Your Mind is just the guide you need.

Annie 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. As a therapist, Annie treats children, teens, and adults in traditional sit-down sessions. But more often, she brings horses and ponies together with clients for a therapy called equine assisted counseling. As a writer, Annie combines her passion for people and their potential with her love for interior design and her appreciation for the life choices that support mental health.
