Karen Otis has merged her two areas of expertise--architecture and sociology--in some interesting ways. She's pioneered a way to use architectural wisdom to help people build better lives form the ground up. Instead of reacting to what life throws at you, Karen teaches people how to "create" the life they want. In this episode, she applies the Architectural Method to designing a satisfying social life.

Karen is an architect, life builder and author. She has an interesting educational journey with a B.A. in Sociology and a Masters Degree in Architecture which prepped her to write her new book "Be the Architect of Your Life: Design Build, and Start Living a Life Inspired." This title uses architectural wisdom to help people rebuild their lives from the ground up.
