What a powerful journey this book makes possible! Feb 14, 2010 Through the process this book offers, my partner and I have been able to open potentially difficult conversations about what our shared living space means to each of us, how it might be different, and what we both value.
The author brings the influences that shaped each of us into the heart of the home we currently inhabit. The book's concepts are both accessible and juxtaposed in a strikingly original manner; its themes are consistently coherent as the chapters unfold. It guides the reader to find their own values and resources in achieving a sense of fit between heart, hearth and history.
I would recommend it to any individual, couple or family who deeply values the place they call home, or who wants to make that place more congruent with who they are.
Interesting Combination of Ideas Jan 10, 2010 Thought provoking and serious, yet playfully engaging, Be It Ever So Humble is will worth the read. Through his introduction to Archologie, Mr. Kerner effectively explores the connections between architecture, psychotherapy and genealogy.
Participation in his prescribed exercises is entertaining and illuminating. When all is read and done, I was able to look at my living space with new insight, inspiring me to make meaningful, encompassing changes. This book is refreshing and opened up many interesting family discussions.
fresh and compelling Jan 02, 2010 What a thought-provoking book - and what better time than the new year to take time to reflect on how we live and how we think about the people who have shaped our lives. I am very grateful to the author for his insights and his dynamic approach to the present and the past.
A Journey Into Heart and Home Dec 19, 2009 "Be It Ever So Humble" is an excellent book. I will never look at spaces in the same way again. The exercises are imaginative and most helpful in determining how and why we view our living spaces as we do. The language is clear and succint, sometimes bordering on the poetic, and the author's self-revelations make this a fascinating read.
