Author Sam Gosling visits Google's
headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss
his book "Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About
You". This event took place June 17, 2008, as
part of the authors@google series.
Does what's on your desk reveal what's on
your mind? Do those pictures on your walls
tell true tales about you? And is your
favorite outfit about to give you away? 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.
Sam Gosling is an associate professor of
psychology at the University of Texas at
Austin. He has spent the last decade
conducting research on how personality is
expressed and perceived in everyday contexts.
He has been profiled by the New York Times,
Psychology Today, and other publications, and
he is featured in Malcolm Gladwell's Blink.
This is his first book. He lives in Austin,
Texas.
