Lifestyles Today


Book Description

Who wants to live how? The most diverse life patterns and lifestyles are reflected in the way a person designs his or her home. Architects and interior designers have to get involved with the individual character of their clients, they have to understand how their clients want to live and implement this in their room concepts and designs. From the seating furniture via the wall design to the orientation of the bed to the window, all of this provides information about the inhabitants on the most diverse levels. Wood or stainless steel, filigree plants, pink lampshades - or even the motorbike next to the fridge - make very different statements about the self-image and the sought-after external image of the residents. This book celebrates life in all its diversity through magnificent interiors.

A prince, certainly, since this is life, the tedious process of becoming a prince in life, or the tedious process of slowly modifying, adjusting, and improving your own lifestyle in order to achieve to live the life of a prince or princess, all done according to everyone’s living conditions. Since this is what everybody seems to do and desire throughout life, while slowly changing their life and lifestyle towards better, easier, richer, and more abundant living conditions. But is it good to be rich and have everything that you ever desire, or it is better to be poor and live a freer, denser, more unpredictable, more adventurous, and therefore more exciting life? Let us see, but who should ever decide your own lifestyle and living conditions, along with your own standards and meaning in life? And then, what exactly defines excitement, adventure, freedom, and fulfillment in life, along with all advantages and disadvantages of all lifestyles? Who exactly can tell what lives are better and what are worse, determining you now to adjust your own lifestyle matching whatever they assume that is best for you? Because it is your life, it is your lifestyle, and no one should control these, but you. Yet everybody does so, including authorities, hiding behind fancy words as democracy, recession, rights, chaos, evil, and criminality. And now, because of them, you have to live the lifestyle of someone else, it does not fit your own nature, needs, meanings, and fulfillment, while you never know what happens, just because you tend to associate lifestyles stereotypically with glamour, addicts, fashion, dictators, extraordinary wealth, and very important people. What can you do? Just learn everything about lifestyles in all details, and so you may design your own lifestyle as you please, in order to match your own meanings, needs, and desires in life. Because as long as princes are in control of this world and not paupers, then yes, princes will certainly control your life, along with your lifestyle and desires in life, as they please. And this is why being a prince will always be more desirable for you than being a pauper, while you might not even know it. This is what you seek and expect in life, but in vain, since you can never achieve it, because you are never allowed. And this is how you miss on everything else there is for you to witness and discover in life and in this world, since today, lack of money and lack of resources affect your life drastically, even causing you to stagnate or decay altogether. Because your development relates to your lifestyle, making possible your meaning, and therefore assuring your fulfillment, with an entire world focusing on addictions and social supremacy instead, altering the overall human lifestyle, while keeping the entire world unfulfilled. Throughout this book, we make an entire model of the human lifestyle, through empiric, cognitive, social, and higher perspectives, and then we run this model throughout a multitude of conditions, in order to identify and depict your current and envisioned lifestyles, adjusting them in a positive manner according to your needs, meanings, and fulfillment.
