The Staff and Friends of Cos Cob Library virtually welcome author Donald M. Rattner, who has written book on creativity: My Creative Space: How to Design Your Home to Stimulate Ideas and Spark Innovation. It’s the first book to show how you can design your home according to science (and some very creative people) to inspire more and better ideas. Creativity isn’t all in your head. Sometimes it’s in what’s around you—especially when you’re at home!

For over twenty years, scientists have been discovering connections between our physical surroundings and the creative mind. Written by a noted architect, My Creative Spaceis the first book to turn this rich trove of psychological research into practical techniques for shaping a home that will boost your creativity. Whether you pursue creativity for pleasure or profit, whether you’re a writer, entrepreneur, work in a creative industry, or simply enjoy doing creative things, this book will help you do them better. No prior expertise in design psychology required!
