367: A Home that Loves You with Lily Bernheimer

367: A Home that Loves You with Lily Bernheimer

Your home and workspace affect your mood, your sleep, your productivity, and your feeling of belonging, but how much time have you spent to make them truly serve you? For most of us, we're stuck working in a random office environment, and we might not even be able to control our living space as much as we'd like. The feeling you get is subjective, of course, but there is an emerging science that teaches us fascinating universal truths about what makes a great space. On this week's show, you'll meet an environmental psychologist who has made this her life's work.

Listen & Learn:

  • How "prospect" and "refuge" tendencies affect our preferred seat at the table (or desk!)
  • Why 50 percent of the human population lives near water, and why we respond so positively to bodies of water
  • How to take a BALANCED (biophilia, atmosphere, layout, amenities, noise, cohesion, energy, and design) approach to home design
  • Simple ways to look for and plan the spaces you occupy
