Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
House As a Mirror of Self
Clare Cooper Marcus · 2006
87/100
👍 Worth It
Twenty-five years of research and sixty-plus interviews went into this one, and it shows - it's a genuinely rich look at how our homes shape, and reflect, who we are. The Jungian framing might feel a little esoteric if you want strictly clinical psychology, but the depth here is real. One of the stronger, more substantial picks in this batch.
