How to Find Your PlaceType and Align Your Life With Design
Dr. Sally Augustin helps people design spaces that are much more than just clean or clutter-free--it helps them design spaces to support their deepest goals. It's a mind-opening new way of working with the space around us every day.
A widely published Fellow of the American Psychological Association, Sally has produced work featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle Décor, House Beautiful, The Guardian, Forbes, Huffington Post, Psychology Today, Prevention, Salon, Self and more. She's a contributor both to the Harvard Business Review and Psychology Today, and her clients include Kohler, Sherwin-Williams, Intel, CPP, Inc. (owners of the Meyers-Briggs personality test), The American Society of Interior Designers, and more.
Based on the insights of environmental psychology, Sally Augustin has developed a fascinating new concept of PlaceType, eight different patterns of human psychology that encode our response to surroundings. Like COLOR ME BEAUTIFUL, which enabled millions of women to instantly understand their "season" and chose the most flattering colors for makeup and fashion, DESIGNOLOGY gives readers the tools they need to instantly understand themselves and how to work with the world around them.
DESIGNOLOGY cuts through the fads of clutter and cleaning books and delivers the clear, uncomplicated truth about why we respond to certain spaces in certain ways, and how we can use colors, scents, and other sensory experiences to create spaces that serve our real needs. Sally Augustin delivers straightforward action plans we need to develop places where we can live our best lives.
