Google Preview: For a balanced life, everyone needs a place where they can be happy in their own skin. However, modern pressures often get in the way of having a home that serves as a stable haven for all who live there. Based on two years of research and interviews, Angela Neustatter looks at ways people in very different circumstances are improving the balance of their lives through their homes. Her search for answers ranges widely, from her own family life to council estates in Manchester and London, to the Australian home of Elisabeth Murdoch; from a lesbian houseshare in small-town Texas to an eco-village in Wales. A Home for the Heart provides eleven ways in which people are balancing the demands of the modern world with the demands of their homes, showing how a nurturing home can once again become of root of happiness.; Angela Neustatter is a journalist who writes for the Guardian, Daily Mail, Independent and Times and a lecturer in journalism. She is a specialist in children's welfare issues and the editor of YoungMinds Magazine. She was a Guardian women's page editor. She and her husband live in Islington, London, with their son and young family.; 'What home can offer us.' BBC Women's Hour 'Making [home] a source of comfort and connection.'
