This Is Where You Belong

the Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live
Sep 26, 2016okbookgirl rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Warnick has written an interesting book about "Movers", people who move often from community to community, either by choice or for education, jobs or family considerations. (In the USA, the "Mover" will uproot and move, on average, 11.7 times, in a lifetime.) This book is about how to make a place feel like a home. Warnick has many suggestions : walking or biking in your neighbourhood, buying from local businesses, volunteering, getting interested in local politics and more. Warnick uses her own experience of moving from Austin, Texas - a community she loved - to Blacksburg, Virginia - a community she had to work at loving. Interesting and insightful, especially if you are a "Mover", by choice or circumstance.
