PLACES OF THE HEART: THE PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Book ID/图书代码： 12760013B65846

English Summary/英文概要： Places of the Heart systematically explores the relationship between emotion and place by revealing the ways in which different kinds of places can elicit specific feelings.

• How does the organization of a workplace influence our feelings of well-being and productivity?

• Why is it that some of us can’t wait to get home after work, while others dread the thought of home, no matter how much we enjoy the other people in it?

• Why does our craving for certain neighborhoods send their property values sky high while other neighborhoods become desolate wastelands?

Psychogeography shows us how strongly our surroundings influence our feelings and our emotions.

Each chapter of Places of the Heart shows us how one type of space affects us emotionally, and how modern technology is altering this interaction.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 通过揭示不同的地理方位可能会产生某些特殊的情感，《心之所在》将带领我们前往去探索情绪与地理方位之间的特殊关系。

•办公场所的位置布局是如何影响员工的幸福感，从而影响工作效率？

•为何我们中的许多人一下班就迫不及待的想要回家，而另一些却想也不敢想，不论有多么渴望与其他人在一起？

•为何当我们极度渴望住在某一个社区时，该社区的售价就会如火箭般上涨，然而最后却又变成了一片无人问津的荒区？

•心理地理学会让我们认识到周围的环境对我们的情感认知会有多么巨大的影响。书《心之所在》中的每一个章节都将为我们展示一种特定的空间环境，以及其对于我们的情感影响，并为我们呈现现代技术是如何改变这种相互作用的。（DC）
