This helped me look at things at different angles! Carrying out these explorations was also really self therapeutic. Now I couldn’t do a lot of exploring outside because of the pandemic but I sure did investigate the four corners of my house thoroughly and I became aware of a certain number of things that were never there or things which I had never noticed before! This may seem like a waste of time but trust me, It’s not! It has a lot of proposals on how you can be a good explorer and seek interest in things that may seem boring to others. It makes sure you exercise all five of your senses and it makes you explore even the deepest parts of your thoughts! This book was really worthwhile and productive. "A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it.This took me a long time to read as it involved a lot of field work and exploration. "Keri Smith may well be the self-help guru this DIY generation deserves." - The Believer engages you to try and deviate from the norm when it comes to living your life-living consciously, rather than unconsciously strolling through life." - Pikaland "The book is deliciously simple but thought-provoking.
This book is an optimistic treat, a wonderfully practical, fun and engaging encouragement to open our eyes and minds to the mundane minutae of the world around us and see revealed the beauty in things might otherwise go unnoticed." - The Museum of Thin Objects "What Keri Smith achieves in this book is one of the most accessible articulations of a psychogeographic mindset I've come across. Analog instead of digital, natural in place of artificial." - Wired Magazine
"This book serves as an example of what the author is trying to teach us: creating, documenting, collecting. "Both daring and meditative, How to Be an Explorer of the World is part Maira Kalman, part Wendy MacNaughton, part its very own kind of whimsy, delivering-beautifully-exactly what it says on the tin, with an invitation to be just a little bit more alive each day." - Brain Pickings Praise for How to Be an Explorer of the World
