On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes
Alexandra Horowitz · 2013 · 308 pages
On Looking begins with inattention. It is about attending to the joys of the unattended, the perceived 'ordinary.' Horowitz encourages us to rediscover the extraordinary things that we are missing in our ordinary activities. Even when engaged in the simplest of activities like taking a walk around the block, we pay so little attention to most of what is right before us that we are sleepwalkers in our own lives.

“I read this great book On Looking by alexandra Horowitz and she talks about taking this walk with her kids and trying to see the walk through her daughter's eyes and what she catches herself realizing is that her daughter doesn't know that the walk starts when they leave her house. Her daughter thinks that the walk starts when she says we're taking a walk”↗
