How to Be an Explorer of the World by Keri Smith

Most of all, I LOVE the graphics and how this book is organized. Some of the ideas in this book are absolutely fantastic (there is one about finding the colors of your world that I'm definitely going to do) and the quotes are well chosen. Listen a little more carefully, look a little more closely, and recognizes the patterns, colors, and themes that surround us everyday that we pay no attention to. It blends together the ideas of science and art and inspires you to not do anything outrageous, but instead be an explorer in an every day way.

Now that I've read through it, I absolutely love it. When I got this book, I wasn't completely sure what to expect all I knew was I loved the title, the idea, and the glimpses of pages I caught. You eventually begin to feel as if the thing is out to find you, instead of the other way around.'Įver since I was little I always loved those books that you could write in the ones that have some story, or quotes, or something inspirational, but also an interactive component. 'It is a known condition that when you begin to pay attention to something you’ve never really looked at before you will begin to see it everywhere. “If you find yourself being questioned as to the reasons for your activities, the phrase “I’m conducting research.” Usually satisfies even the nosiest interloper.” Okay so don’t tell this to anyone 🤫 but there was this exploration where you needed to go to a public place and overhear conversations and document them! I did that and I heard some really unusual and riveting things! I just loved the whole experience and exposure to things I’m not used to doing! I mean come on! Everyone needs some change in their lives!

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. This took me a long time to read as it involved a lot of field work and exploration.
