Download Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You AudioBook Free

Does what's on your desk reveal what's in your thoughts? Do those pictures on your walls tell true tales about you? And is your favorite outfit about to offer you away? For the last ten years psychologist Sam Gosling has been studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves. By exploring our private worlds (desks, bedrooms, even our clothes and our cars), he shows not only how exactly we showcase our personalities in unexpected-and unplanned-ways, but also how exactly we create personality to begin with, communicate it others, and interpret the world around us. Gosling, one of the field's most progressive researchers, dispatches teams of scientific snoops to poke around dorm rooms and offices, to see what can be learned all about people simply from considering their stuff. What he has learned is astonishing: as it pertains to the most essential the different parts of our personalities-from friendliness to flexibility-the things we own and the way we arrange them often say more about us than even our most intimate conversations. If you know what to consider, you can work out how reliable a fresh boyfriend is by peeking into his medicine cabinet or whether an employee is committed to her job by analyzing her cubicle. Important thing: The insights we gain can enhance our knowledge of ourselves and sharpen our perceptions of others. Packed with original research and fascinating stories, Snoop is a captivating guidebook to your not-so-secret lives.
