this book was something… definitely not what i expected. gave some interesting insight but overall, seemed like a random collection of somewhat insignificant information. perhaps i’m missing the whole point and walking away from a book called “how to do nothing” saying there was nothing to the book. but here i am, doing it.

I absolutely love this book and how it weaves together insights from art, philosophy, technology, and nature. Made me think differently about how and where I spend my attention.

What if it were called: bird-noticing? Great performance art pieces referenced.

I tried twice. It’s just not capturing my attention. The narrator might be part of it.
