about Sarah:
Sarah
Susanka's "Not So Big" message has become a launch pad for a new
dimension of understanding - not just about how we inhabit our homes, but also
about how we inhabit our planet and even our day-to-day lives. As a cultural
visionary with an incredible ability to understand the underlying structure of
the American lifestyle, Susanka is providing the language and tools that are
redefining how we live.
Thought
leader, inspirational keynote speaker and acclaimed architect, Susanka is the
acclaimed author of nine best-selling books including The Not So Big House
(Taunton, 1998), The Not So Big Life (Random House, 2007), Not So Big
Remodeling (Taunton, 2009), and most recently, More Not So Big Solutions for
Your Home (Taunton, 2010). Her books have sold well over 1.2 million copies.
Susanka is
personally putting Not So Big house design principles into action with her Not
So Big Showhouse at SchoolStreet in Libertyville, Illinois. The Showhouse and
SchoolStreet development powerfully combine Not So Big house design and a
walkable community, showing how "better, not bigger" design, a
well-thought out neighborhood, and a vibrant existing community create housing
success.
Through her
Not So Big House presentations and book series, Susanka has helped readers
understand that the sense of "home" they're seeking has almost
nothing to do with quantity and everything to do with quality. She points out
that we feel "at home" in our houses when where we live reflects who
we are in our hearts. In her book and presentations about The Not So Big Life,
she uses this same set of notions to explain that we can feel "at
home" in our lives only when what we do reflects who we truly are. Susanka
unveils a process for changing the way we live by fully inhabiting each moment
of our lives, and by showing up completely in whatever it is we are doing.
