For readers desirous of diving deeper into research on which ‘9 Precepts of Bio-energetic Architecture’ are based, there are numbered references throughout the book with links to research publications, websites, and books in the bibliography.

The book has been reviewed extensively and enriched by experts from around the globe from fields of architecture, academics, medicine, Vaastu, civil services, business, and engineering. Their reviews embellish the first few pages.

A shift of perspective holds key to the design of ‘Architecture for Well-being’. This is the underlying message of Bio-energetic Architecture and through this book, the author also offers some perspectives on simple lifestyle interventions and choices that can be a catalyst for anyone in search of designing spaces for Wellbeing.
