On Looking begins with inattention. It is about attending to the joys of the unattended, the perceived 'ordinary.' Horowitz encourages us to rediscover the extraordinary things that we are missing in our ordinary activities. Even when engaged in the simplest of activities like taking a walk around the block, we pay so little attention to most of what is right before us that we are sleepwalkers in our own lives.… (mere)

Not the book I thought. The book I wanted was a field guide to becoming a better observer whilst walking, a summary of techniques to be more attentive and get more out of walks.

Instead of getting the book I actually wanted, I got a book comprised of essays detailing Horowitz’s walks with various experts. Two of said experts were her son, and her dog. It was an interesting read, but not what I hoped for, not what I wanted and ultimately not as helpful or intriguing as I’d expected.

I vastly prefer her Inside Of A Dog to On Looking both as an educational book, and as a reading experience. ( )

Everything can be interesting, if looked at in a certain way. ( )

A book on attention, based on the importance - and on the individual partiality - of the 5 senses. Amusing, well written and open-minding. ( )

I was a bit disappointed as it was not the book that I had expected, I thought that there would be more about walking and with just some minor changes most of the walking could have been cut out of the book. It is a mixture of stories/observations/facts that are loosely tied together by the walking theme. In some ways it is part Oliver Sacks and part amateurish writing. In its own way it is an interesting mashup of various themes that just did not appeal to me; though I am sure many people will enjoy this book. Give it a try. ( )

This is an interesting take on how we are aware of the world around us. ( )

“The art of seeing has to be learned,” Marguerite Duras reverberates — and it can be learned, as cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz invites us to believe in her breathlessly wonderful On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes — a record of her quest to walk around a city block with eleven different “experts,” from an artist to a geologist to a dog, and emerge with fresh eyes mesmerized by the previously unseen fascinations of a familiar world. It is undoubtedly one of the most stimulating books of the year, if not the decade, and the most enchanting thing I’ve read in ages.

Round and round the blocks of New York City, Horowitz (Psychology, Animal Behavior, and Canine Cognition/Barnard Coll.; Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell and Know, 2010) takes readers on multiple walks, showing us what we fail to spot when we don't pay attention.

On Looking begins with inattention. It is about attending to the joys of the unattended, the perceived 'ordinary.' Horowitz encourages us to rediscover the extraordinary things that we are missing in our ordinary activities. Even when engaged in the simplest of activities like taking a walk around the block, we pay so little attention to most of what is right before us that we are sleepwalkers in our own lives.
