Los Angeles, California, United States Adam Sheffield, real estate entrepreneur, lawyer, musician, and author, announces the release of his new book, Property Therapy®. This comprehensive work introduces a unique philosophy of property stewardship, exploring the reciprocal relationship where taking care of property ultimately takes care of the owner.

The book discusses what Property Therapy is, defining it not merely as maintenance, but as a lifestyle of hands-on property management and therapy through work. Sheffield, the creator of Property Therapy®, argues that in a modern era of disposable goods, developing a self-sufficiency mindset and engaging in DIY property repair can provide profound mental and spiritual benefits.

The book chronicles his personal journey as a general contractor and hands-on landlord, sharing real estate stories that inspire and instruct. From rebuilding fire-damaged homes to the complexities of dangerous building liens, Sheffield offers readers a clear look at overcoming property catastrophes and the grit required for real estate resilience.

Readers will find practical guidance ranging from DIY electrical repair basics and HVAC repair tips to sewer line issues and raccoon damage in attics. However, the text surpasses the typical DIY landlord repair guide through a faith-based work ethic and Biblical principles of stewardship. The author mentions how fixing psychologically damaged properties, homes with traumatic histories or physical scars, can mirror personal healing, offering a distinct perspective on property and mental health.

The book is structured like a musical symphony, reflecting Sheffield’s background as a Suzuki violin teacher and professional violinist. The narrative moves from exposition to development, sharing property stories involving rental property restoration and the founding of the American Heritage Center. The book champions gray-collar workers, those who blend blue-collar trades with white-collar management, promoting Christian property stewardship and hands-on healing.

Property Therapy® is a property therapy book that is both a memoir and a manual. It covers landlord maintenance skills, real estate ownership lessons, and how to handle property disasters financially and emotionally. Through cello and violin stories and accounts from the Property Therapy radio show, the author demonstrates how working with your hands improves mental health and fosters real estate problem-solving.
