The quotes are from artists, Buddhists, philosophers, poets, and more, all centered on the theme of how "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" (Marcel Proust). The short, playful exercises and prompts--like Seeing in the Rain, Eye Spy with My Open I, Spend 30 Minutes Taking a Five-Minute Walk, Get Lost--are designed to disrupt routine and inspire readers to see for themselves. Some of the exercises involve drawing, writing, and taking photographs, opening a path to creativity as well as showing how to engage in the moment.

Think of it as the Zen of seeing--a new way to look at the world afresh and rediscover joy in the everyday.
