Look : how to pay attention in a distracted world / Christian Madsbjerg. by Madsbjerg, Christian. Riverhead Books, 2023. Call #: 153.733 M183L Subjects Attention.   Observation (Psychology) ISBN:  9780593542217 (hc.) Alternate title:  How to pay attention in a distracted world Description:  xvii, 234 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "A powerful exploration of how we pay attention that will transform the ways we connect with one another -- at home, at work, and beyond. Paying attention is a crucial human skill, yet many of us have forgotten how to listen carefully and observe intentionally. 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. 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. In the book, Madsbjerg sets out the key observational skills needed to show how we can recapture our ability to pay attention. Drawing from philosophy, science, 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."--Jacket. Christian Madsbjerg is cofounder of the consulting firm ReD Associates. He writes, speaks, and teaches widely on the practical application of the human sciences. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Financial Times, The Washington Post, and Bloomberg Businessweek. He lives in New York City with his family.
