“I believe deeply that the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of stillness,” says the spiritual Simmons, who practices yoga once a day and and meditates twice daily — and who just launched a free app calledMeditation Made Simple. “This house is designed to help me in my quest for inner peace.

Simmons is also proud of his art collection, which includes an original of Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” poster (the iconic portrait ofBarack Obama), as well as a giant Jean-Michel Basquiat-Andy Warhol collaboration.
