Snoop

Reviews / Votes

Charming and well written...readable and practical guide to understanding the people around you. -- Richard Wiseman * New Scientist * Gosling's conclusions are supported by rigorous academic research, but his engaging book is aimed at a popular audience...Snoop's conceit makes for an entertaining tour of how people project their inner selves outward into the world. This may seem like just common sense, but it's not. * The Washington Post * A wry primer in how to decode other people's private lives through their worldly goods. * Tatler * Gosling's work, reminiscent of Martha Stout's The Sociopath Next Door in its vivid, true-to-life portraits of people and places, is a unique blend of scholarly research and accessible vignettes. Expect future books from this young scholar, whose storytelling skills prove he's capable of bridging the gap between ivory-tower dwellers and street denizens. * Library Journal, starred review * Highly entertaining. * Times High Education * Snoopology is a science with a right way and wrong way of doing it...I was blithely going about it entirely the wrong way. A fascinating book. -- Lucy Kellaway * Financial Times * [F]ascinating...I look forward to more of this from Gosling as his subject area develops. -- William Leith * The Spectator * Snoop is all about decoding the clues in objects... it's fascinating for me because of our shared compulsion and overlapping experience. It's fascinating where he confirms familiar ideas and where he introduces new angles...On he goes, writing far better than American social psychologists usually do (because he's a Brit)... -- Peter York * Management Today * This guide will change the way you arrange your desk forever. -- Cath Millman * The Big Issue Wales * Fascinating. -- Emily Dubberley * Scarlet * Sam Gosling's entertaining SNOOP shows how our personality is exuded by our living spaces and possessions. Very revealing. -- Amanda Gefter * New Scientist, Editor's Picks 2008 *
