In a Good Place

How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive
For readers of 99% Invisible City, The Architecture of Happiness, and The Extended Mind comes an eye-opening exploration of how our physical environment shapes how we think and feel - and how we can shape our surroundings to foster wellbeing, connection, and joy.

The physical spaces we inhabit impact us so much more than we realize. From home to work and everywhere in between, learn how to get more out of your spaces, and yourself.

So many books address how to live a good life. This one is about where.

Weaving together lessons ranging from ancient monuments to modern office layouts, from the backyard where we once played and explored to the college dorm where we forged lifelong bonds, behavioral scientist Leidy Klotz illuminates how our physical environment determines our habits, our relationships, and even who we are. Readers learn:

- How physical spaces build the very skills that our screens erode
- How to perform as well in neutral territory as we do on our "home turf"
- Why some office layouts invite conversation and others kill it
- How to tell if a design choice will stand the test of time
- How navigating a new place primes your brain for learning
- What physical spaces teach us about drawing emotional boundaries
- How places can keep memories alive
- And much more

Whether you're picking a venue for your next birthday party, renovating your kitchen, or deciding which neighborhood to move to, Klotz provides the scientific grounding and practical wisdom for creating spaces that foster genuine belonging.
