I thought this book was okay, but many of the tips for noticing things are not terribly practical or safe, especially for women. Some of the tips are interesting, though, so it's got some things worth trying out, or at least thinking about.

pretty much the embodiment of the emoji. They always say "my kid could paint that" but there's a whole genre of "creativity" books that could be classified as "my kid could tell you that."

I liked this book so much that I'm going to buy my own copy.

"What is art but a way of seeing?" John Berger tells us.
To make art, then, we need to see freshly, in different ways.
This book is all about shifting your focus and looking at the world from a different angle, looking at things with a different focus. It's an ideal book for someone wanting to see the world anew.

Rob Walker converted me to the art of noticing before I had finished the tenth page of his book because I put it down, listened to his podcast conversation with Mitch Joel, and started three of the 131 exercises with my pre-teens as part of the summer holidays. I've ordered two copies of The Art of Noticing and plan to use it as a set piece in the critical and contextual thinking modules I teach with the Limerick School of Art & Design.
