Snoop by Sam Gosling

Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You, by Sam Gosling, reviewed by Lynn Heitkamp, Hoyt Library
Basic Books, 2008, 272 pages, $25

Less a guide on going through a friend’s medicine cabinet than a look at who we are and how we express ourselves through our belongings, psychologist Sam Gosling’s first book provides a lighthearted guide to the study of personality. This world-class snooper’s research uncovers what can and cannot be deciphered about people from the way they arrange their living spaces. It’s sure to make you take a second look at your own home to see what it is “saying” about you.
