Yet for decades, we have not lived as though this were true. The result: Widespread unhappiness, isolation, and meaninglessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosopher John Cuddeback invokes timeless wisdom to help breathe new life into our homes. Focusing on eight simple principles, \u003ci\u003eThe Intentional Household \u003c\/i\u003egives profound directions for crafting the shared life we naturally crave for ourselves and our loved ones. Our souls were made for a living community at every phase of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding this community, however, takes time and focus. More and more people are discovering that good work and edifying leisure in the home are a key not only to healthy family, but a flourishing society. Cuddeback explains how and why.

With care and clarity, he grounds the practical cornerstones of shared life in the perennial principles of human nature and ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday's household must be an \u003ci\u003eintentional\u003c\/i\u003e household, carefully crafted in view of what really matters: true happiness.
