The Places That Shape Us

from The Next Big Idea Daily · host Next Big Idea Club

We spend so much time optimizing how we live — our habits, our mindset, our routines. But what about where we live? On today's episode, two authors make a powerful case that the spaces around us matter more than we think. Leidy Klotz, author of In a Good Place: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive, reveals how thoughtful design of our environments can support wellbeing and flourishing. And Stefan Al, author of Dwelling on Earth: The Past and Future of the Places We Call Home, takes us on a sweeping tour of humanity's relationship with home — and what it means for the places we'll build tomorrow. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
