He appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to promote both books.
His first lifestyle book Conscious Style Home (St. Martin's Press; 2001) chronicles his renovation of his parents' Green Hills, Pennsylvania home. Showcasing easy-to-find eco-friendly materials, the book received positive reviews in The New York Times, Elle, Food & Wine, Elle Decor, and USA Today, which raved "Say 'environment' to Danny Seo, and it's as if you've punched the word into the search engine Google: Out roars an avalanche of ideas and references that threatens to scramble your brain."
His next books Simply Green Parties and Simply Green Giving highlight Danny's unique take and approach to stylish green living. Both books feature lush, colorful photography and clear, step-by-step instructions along with Danny's tips and how-to information on living the Simply Green way.
