Paying attention is a crucial human skill, but many of us have forgotten how to listen carefully and observe intentionally. Inundated by social media and hampered by the increasing social isolation it fosters, we must rediscover the deeply human ways that allow us to connect with others.

In Look, Christian Madsbjerg – philosopher, entrepreneur and professor at the New School in New York – outlines the key observational skills needed to regain our ability to pay attention. Drawing on philosophy, science, the visual arts and his own life, he offers both practical ideas and a range of tools for experiencing the world with greater richness and texture and developing our empathy and connections with the others.
