Review- Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You

I stumbled upon this article about this book: Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You in the Newsweek online.  Briefly about the book: For the last ten years psychologist Sam Gosling has been studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves. By exploring our private worlds (desks, bedrooms, even our clothes and our cars), he shows not only how we showcase our personalities in unexpected-and unplanned-ways, but also how we create personality in the first place, communicate it others, and interpret the world around us. Gosling, one of the field’s most innovative researchers, dispatches teams of scientific snoops to poke around dorm rooms and offices, to see what can be learned about people simply from looking at their stuff. What he has discovered is astonishing: when it comes to the most essential components of our personalities-from friendliness to flexibility-the things we own and the way we arrange them often say more about us than even our most intimate conversations.  (abbreviated from the Publisher)

Lets see, my apartment according to my girlfriend and a number of my friends they noted to me about it are extremely messy and at times I might as well land myself for fines from the city in where I live.  (That’s perhaps a bit of exaggeration!?)  I am trying my best now to keep my mess to the minimum, in which its a big task for me to do even in a sunny-side of my personality.  On the side-note, I have not even read the book yet, so this review is a preview.  If you have any comments, pleasant or squeamish, do not hesitate to post them.
