ANNOUNCING
How to Fix Anything in Your Home and in Your Life
Starts on January 22, 2024
Would you like to Discover how you can fix things in
Your Home (water heaters, plumbing issues, etc.) and in Your Life (mental, emotional, and spiritual issues)?
The course How to Fix Things in Your Home and in Your Life is based on Larry Weingarten’s book, The Philosopher’s Wrench. According to Amazon’s book website, “…the book brilliantly takes a philosophical approach to fixing things: from home water heaters to personal relationships.”
What Are the Benefits of Taking the Course?
Some of the benefits you’ll discover in this 3-part course include how to
- Ask good questions and observe closely to get answers
- Determine the right tools for any job
- Do things you’ve never imagined doing by believing in yourself
- Stay in hot water – and get out of it when you want to.
Larry teaches you a way to look at new perspectives on solving problems so that when anything comes up you have more confidence in solving any challenges you face, either in your home or on a personal level.
In Larry’s Own Words:
“One of the most powerful tools is perspective, and if I can share with people how to gain multiple perspectives on any problem, they’ll figure out how they can solve it. Even just having this perspective eliminates the fear that comes from not knowing. That puts you in a much stronger position, a better place, a happier place.”

Who is Larry Weingarten?
Larry Weingarten is a building contractor, writer and teacher. He is well recognized in the fields of hot water and energy efficient, durable housing.

About the Book The Philosopher’s Wrench
In the book description on the Amazon Page it says:
“Larry speaks to the heart and soul of living wisely and lightly on the planet. He is an expert on hot water heaters, energy efficient homes, and living off the grid. But his writings on living well go much deeper than the mere proper maintenance of a home’s technology. The process of fixing physical things is remarkably similar to the process of fixing emotional and spiritual issues. Enlisting the powers of openness, perspective, and a quiet mind can go far in helping you fix any sort of problem that crosses your path or that you may have been burdened with. This understanding and the confidence these powers bring is truly life-changing! Imagine a life with no real fears; imagine the calmness you would feel.”
What People Have to Say About Larry and His Book
Bookreader (Amazon Review)
He [Larry] intertwines the history, craft, equipment, and tooling of plumbing with insights into how human beings attack problems of living life well. Importantly, the book manages to weave a tapestry that shows the connection between striving to understand how things work with the art(s) of creating, teaching, and interacting with other sentient beings, thereby making life richer.
Dan (Amazon Review)
This book is a buffet of thoughts about water, about heating water, about plumbing, but mostly it is a book about what it means to be still, what it means to be human, what it means to see the sky in a puddle and smile at the beauty of it all.
Larry Weingarten has written a gorgeous book. Savor it. You’ll learn about plumbing and water heating here, and you’ll also learn about life.
A.A. Bailes (Amazon Review)
Larry Weingarten packs a heck of a lot into a mere 221 pages. The title perfectly captures what he has accomplished with this work. It’s as much about how to live well as it is about how to make our houses work better, too (mostly plumbing but also energy use ). You’ll get the absolutely practical stuff (e.g., “How to Look at a Water Heater”) along with the personal (e.g., “Mom Taught by Example), the self-help (e.g., “Responding vs. Reacting”), and of course the animal stories (mostly about cats but also others).
This book covers so much varied terrain that I feel sorry for the librarians and bookstore owners who have to put it in a specific category. But, as Weingarten so wisely makes clear from his personal example, life is about more than just what we do for a living. In fact, the point that comes through the strongest is that life is about helping others.
The writing is clear and personal. You’ll learn plenty of practical tips; I did! What he writes about hot water can change your relationship with your house. Whether it’s reducing long wait-times for hot water or being able to use the same water heater for decades, the advice in this book can help you. But opening the book also is an invitation to look inside yourself. Weingarten weaves the philosophy in with the plumbing seamlessly.
