Some things in life want to be “just right.”. There is a popular fairytale about the importance of this—the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

And although I have more than three chairs in my house, I have just one type of chair that has become "go-to seating" for most solitary and social activities--not just for me, but for family members, friends, and co-workers. The chair is the Gokhale Pain-Free™ Chair, and I designed it myself.
