Living with Others

This book is intended for anyone thinking of living or already living with strangers, friends and family—especially strangers. Major life transitions such as heading off to college, taking on a new job and moving to a new location have been documented extensively, often with accompanying recommendations, over the years. Leaving the family home and finding somewhere to live that presents shared living conditions is one of those life transitions for which no one has ever been properly trained.
Drawing on 40 years of personal experience, as well as interviews with academics, psychologists and CEOs from around the world, this work is a springboard to harmonious shared living. Living with others involves situations that stump even the best therapists and life coaches, particularly if they’ve never had roommates. This book will empower readers to handle anything that comes their way without professional help (while saving a great deal of money along the way).

A veteran of living with others, David Ruby has shared homes in cities around the world including London, New York and Paris with friends, strangers, and family for almost 40 years.
