Ha-Bait Ha-Optimi by Shirley Avnon Kraizel

“The Optimistic Home” offers a new and loving perspective on our homes, which are at the center of our daily lives. The book encourages us to let go of the ideal of a “perfect home” as presented on social media and in magazines, and instead focus on creating a “good home”—one that supports and nurtures us, and loves us as we are. It’s not about achieving perfection, but about managing the home in a way that creates a fulfilling and positive living experience.

The book is also a practical guide, with clear instructions on how to enhance your home so that it becomes a place of warmth and security. It includes photographs, illustrations, and poems that expand the heart and inspire creativity. Additionally, the book offers “homework”—tasks you can do to implement the principles presented and transform your home into a more optimistic space.

If you’re looking for a way to improve your home life and infuse it with more character and love, this is a great gift for yourself and for others you care about.
