A wonderful little book of ideas on how to be more involved in this world. Some great, some fun, some strange, some I will never try ... but all valid, interesting, and worthwhile reading. Even if you choose not to use this book for the ideas on how to "notice", there's still some great reading on how other humans have navigated this life.

This is one of the most impactful and helpful books I've read this year. I took my time working through it as an assignments-book or workbook, and transparently have more reading to go. (It's rare that I spend 7 months with a book that I didn't actually just abandon). But highly recommended in its message as well as sparking a different perspective on noticing and mindfulness that's helpful for anybody in any walk of life.

Some great ideas here to help with inspiring creativity. Quite a few also that felt too similar to others. Good skimming, though.

Amusing articles, but very dated — there's a section about the *shocking* practice of people selling and buying virtual goods, for example.
