Care for Something

Care for Something, by Rob Walker.

“Commit to making the time to attend to what really matters to you.”

***

The Art of Noticing

Simple and uncommon exercises to reveal what’s hidden in plain sight.

In The Art of Noticing, Rob Walker—a journalist, author, and educator—invites us to attend carefully and playfully to everyday curiosities that most of us tend to overlook.

“Fending off distraction isn’t quite the same thing as making the most of our attention.” By engaging the senses, Rob says, we can enrich our daily lives with meaning, boost creativity, and even “reframe the way we take in the world.”
