Happy Inside: How to Harness the Power of Home for Health and Happiness by Michelle Ogundehin. Published 30 april 2020.

Happy Inside by Michelle Ogundehin — the woman The Sunday Times calls the “interiors guru” — is set to become absolutely required reading in our ‘Age of Anxiety’. Why? Because finally here is a book that’s less about ‘style’ and more about substance.

“A book for creating a wellness sanctuary at home.” Sunday times style

In the face of globally rising rates of chronic illness and mental health issues (even before Covid-19), the creation of a supportive and restorative home has never been more important. As she puts it, “I don’t care how you fold your socks, but I do care how you feel.”

“I love this book. Strong, clever, intelligent advice with soul.” Mary Portas

Michelle lives and breathes her philosophy. She is passionate about the power of your surroundings to enhance your wellbeing. Her own home is her ultimate test bed, and she enjoys good health, great sleep, abundant energy and an enduringly youthful demeanour as a result of practising what she preaches.

“A must-have read for anyone looking to improve not just their home but also their quality of life within it.” Matthew Williamson

Mixing the knowledge gained from 20 years of editing interiors magazines and her early training as an architect, Happy Inside skilfully combines practical information with personal insight. It’s an approach that makes you reconsider your relationship with your home — potentially your most powerful ally in the pursuit of good health and happiness.
