Home Psych : The Social Psychology of Home

Rating:
Summary: People's houses are windows on their souls. . .
Review: This look at the way people's houses reflect themselves and their relationships with others is a wonderful hybrid of scholarship and popularization. Kron writes for magazines, but her insights come from anthropology, sociology and psychology -- and she's got a wonderful sense of humor. If you've ever wondered about roped off living rooms, guest towels which are never used or cheap soap in an expensively sybaritic shower, this is the book for you. It's a deceptively easy and pleasant read, the anecdotes so nicely illustrating her points that I reread it every couple years.
