How Environment Effects Perfromance

An interesting topic I have recently read about is how our environment effects us. It seems to appear that where we dwell has a massive impact on who we become and by what spirit we go about our daily lives. In one study it is said that people who live in a clean environment vs a messy one ultimately have better health and are happier. This is an obvious assumption but the thing is, it extend far more than what one person might thing. The idea that we can shape our environment which then in turn shapes us is an idea called ontological design. The significance in ontological design is that it gives us a tool to begin to control our lives. By controlling our environment around us we can then begin to control our thoughts by controlling what external stimuli enter our mind. By controlling what is around ourselves we have began the first time to getting better control of our lives.
