An absolutely lovely little book detailing 131 interesting and sometimes absurd ways to notice more things. Exercises like coming up with a script for random video footage you’re watching, interviewing an inanimate object, calculating the exact halfway point between you and a friend and meeting there, purposefully looking for and reading every plaque you find, etc.
It’s a breezy read, and genuinely has some remarkable insights on things we don’t do, that we probably should. I loved it.
