The world expert in multisensory perception on the remarkable ways we can use our senses to lead happier, healthier, richer lives

How can the furniture in your home affect your well-being? What colour clothing will help you play sport better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work? In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change how we think and feel, and how by 'hacking' them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier.

We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it's the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily) and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee's decision. Sensehacking explores how the senses are stimulated in nature, at home, in the workplace and at play. Using cutting-edge science, Spence shows how the senses interact and affect our minds and bodies.

Kritikerstimmen

Spence does for the senses what Marie Kondo does for homes (Avery Gilbert, author of What the Nose Knows)
Talks total sense, lots of fun facts, right up there with the best of the best (Chris Evans)
An extraordinary compendium of everything you need to know about how to cope with the hidden sensory overload of modern life, engagingly told (Robin Dunbar, author of How Many Friends Does One Person Need?)
In Sensehacking, Charles Spence offers a whole new twist on what it means to 'make sense' of the world around us. Drawing on his renowned expertise in the field of crossmodal science, Professor Spence shares a wealth of insights and practical tips that will help you improve your social, cognitive and emotional well-being through sensory stimulation and management (Steve Keller, Sonic Strategy Director, Studio Resonate at Pandora)
Charles Spence draws on his wealth of experience to provide insights into how our senses are interwoven in every aspect of our lives. Spence shows how sensehacking - which he defines as 'using the power of the senses, and sensory stimulation, to help improve our social, cognitive and emotional well-being' - is all around us. In addition to practical suggestions for enriching our own lives, Sensehacking provides unsettling insights into how commercial interests are manipulating our perceptions and behaviour. This book will shed light on much that goes unnoticed, and is especially timely in these pandemic times. (Roger Kneebone, author of Expert)
Truly accessible, entertaining and informative. On every page there are ideas to set you thinking and widen your horizons (Heston Blumenthal, OBE, on Gastrophysics)
Wonderfully curious and thought-provoking . . . brilliant (Bee Wilson, Guardian, on Gastrophysics)
Popular science at its best (Daniel Levitin, NYT bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music, on Gastrophysics)
A fascinating read. Given how pervasive technology has become, the way we relate to our senses could be the most crucial element in creating environments that are conducive to emotional and cognitive well-being. The science shows how we should evolve from an audiovisual dominated world, to one that caters mindfully to all our senses (Charles Michel, Chef-in-residence at the Crossmodal Research Laboratory, University of Oxford)
