Unexpected changes have disrupted our society, causing people to evolve in ways nobody ever thought possible. How do people use this shift to expand their choices? How do they embrace the change and let go of what is inhibiting them and find the courage to move forward with a spirit of adventure? Life has a miraculous way of delivering a series of messages for people to sense that it is time for a change. One of the many ways they can bring about and embrace this awakening is by changing how their atmosphere and living spaces communicate with them in their everyday lives. The Universal Design Method provides people with a new and exciting way to design their living environments to remove the resistance and create a fear-free lifestyle. As people embrace our new lifestyle and more people work from home, practitioners of the Universal Design Method will be able to design a space that blends their work life, home life and personal needs into one space. This includes those things to keep them safe and to allow them to play and enjoy their environment. Simple changes to one’s atmosphere can change their mindset in a big way. Areas that once brought stress, can now bring joy and inspire creativity. Once people start to shift their mindsets, they can start to see the opportunities presented to them every day and they can embark on a journey toward the next step in their lives. This gives them the freedom to create their reality.Ultimately, life is all about the journey. Joy and motivation are the fuel for your passage.Laura Mineff created the Universal Design Method to relieve people of their inhibitions by breaking down their fears. Practitioners of the Universal Design Method follow an approach that allows them the insight to generate the courage they need to get to the next step in their lives. Ultimately, life is all about the journey and not about the destination. Are you ready to participate?

    This book came to me at just the right time! As an entrepreneur and business owner, it’s easy to find ourselves in a slump for one reason or another. When this book hit my desk, I was in one of those times. In the first few pages, I KNEW that this book was for me.

    The concepts Laura speaks about...mindset, finding joy and other themes are not new. What WAS new for me was her perspective. It was what I needed to remind me that all would be ok.

    Sometimes, we don’t need a brand new idea. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the things we have known inside us for so long. Sometimes we need to hear the same thing again and again until it finally sinks in and we actually USE it.

    Thank you Laura for telling your story and being that reminder for me. I will be keeping this book close by to read again and again the next time I need reminding❤️

    There is so much wisdom packed into this book. There are many thoughts and suggestions to help us on the path we call life. The message is to design a LIFE while we make a living rather than working to live. This is a fulfilling and encouraging book to help us all write our own rules for a complete, happy and joy filled life. Open to any page and read the nuggets of wisdom!!

    I loved this! The metaphor is design, but the message is how to look at life and your place in it in fresh and productive ways. I swear, I am looking at my life through new eyes. I'm also seeing my surroundings with more appreciation and more engagement. It's pretty amazing when one book and the investment of just a few hours can do this.

    Reading this book has been a blessing. It just explained what I have always felt inside myself about overcoming your fears and achieving your goals without being an unscrupulous person.

    Really loved this book. It gave me good insight on how my thoughts and actions manifest into my reality all around me. Incorporating my thoughts into my physical surroundings is a breath of fresh air. They are not limits to our own abilities. Beautiful homes and furniture are so much more the just words. Its how we want to live our lives.
