Deluged by social media and hobbled by the increasing social isolation it fosters, we need to rediscover the deeply human ways we connect with others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Christian Madsbjerg, a philosopher and entrepreneur, understands this dilemma. To counteract it, he began a course at The New School in New York City called Human Observation, which lays out the ways that we can learn to pay attention more effectively. The course has been hugely popular since its inception, with hundreds of students filling waiting lists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLook\u003c\/i\u003e, Madsbjerg sets out the key observational skills needed to show how we can recapture our ability to pay attention. Drawing from philosophy, science, the visual arts, and his own life, he offers both practical insights and a range of tools for experiencing the world with greater richness and texture. The result is a dynamic approach to rethinking observation that helps all of us to see with more empathy, accuracy, and connection to others.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLook\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is a truly eye-opening and original book.
