About this title

Synopsis

48 Science-backed Techniques to Boost Your Creativity at Home

Winner of Six Awards: Nonfiction Authors Association, Chanticleer Book Awards, Nautilus Book Awards, American Bookfest Awards, and Eric Hoffer Awards. #1 Best Seller and #1 New Release on Amazon

Creativity isn't all in your head. Sometimes it depends on your surroundings — especially when you're at home.

For over twenty years, scientists have been discovering connections between physical space and the creative mind. Written by a noted architect, My Creative Space is the first book to turn this rich trove of psychological research into practical techniques for shaping your home for maximum creativity.

Here's a sampling of the techniques you'll learn about:

Which colors lead to peak creative performance
How furnishings influence mental processing
Optimal lighting and noise levels for achieving breakthrough insights
Pros and cons of messy versus neat environments
How memorabilia can break creative logjams
Why ceiling height matters
Which home-based activities enhance creative problem solving
And more

Illustrating the book's 48 techniques are over 200 high-quality photos of creative workspaces and home interiors from around the world, many the work of top-tier architects, designers, and at-home creatives.

Whether you pursue creativity for pleasure or profit, work from home part- or full-time, whether you're a writer, entrepreneur, creative professional, artist, crafter, or simply enjoy being inventive, this book will help you do it better. No prior expertise in design or psychology required!
