Krátky popis
We've forgotten how to pay attention, Christian Madsbjerg says in
his provocative new book. Listening carefully and observing
intentionally are crucial human skills, yet we're not born knowing
how to do them. And thanks to the ubiquity of social media,
increasing social isolation, and the use of empty imagery and
ideology as stand-ins for direct observation, we're losing our
ability to interpret the world at a time when we desperately need
to do that. Madsbjerg, a consultant and a professor at the New
School, noticed this disturbing trend and in 2015 began to coteach
a course on human observation called Human Observation. To his
surprise, the course has been oversubscribed since the beginning,
with hundreds of students - philosophy and business majors,
undergrads and graduate students - signing up for it, and hundreds
more on waiting lists. In this book, Madsbjerg argues that most of
us are stuck in bad habits of looking at the world without truly
seeing it, and he guides us through the key observational skills we
need to explain how we can recapture our ability to truly pay
attention - what he calls 'the meta-skill of observation.' Pulling
from his own background and drawing examples from the arts,
philosophy, and beyond, Madsbjerg has written a book of insight and
practical wisdom that highlights how we can pay sharper attention
to live with more empathy and connect better with others.
