In a Good Place: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive
About this ebook
From home to work and everywhere in between, behavioral scientist Leidy Klotz demonstrates that a thriving inner world requires thoughtful engagement with our surroundings. Our physical environment determines our habits, feelings, and relationships in ways that we don’t often consider, until now. In a Good Place offers new practical wisdom, backed by Klotz's research and rigorous insight, to help us live happily and productively in space.
Immersing readers in locations from beach huts to modern offices, from the backyard where we once played to the college dorm where we forged lifelong bonds, he illuminates how consciously connecting with our physical spaces can increase our mental wellness.

- How engaging with physical spaces builds the very skills our screens erode

- How navigating a new place primes our brains for learning
- What physical spaces teach us about drawing emotional boundaries
- How physical places can keep memories alive
