And I find that by looking more closely and thinking about what I see, it enables me to engage in the world in a way that...

Most people don't, and I can engage in the world.

One of the assignments that I give my participants is that we all go from point A to point B every day.

No two days are ever the same, but we all pretty much do the same thing.

And the assignment is, I want you to notice one thing today that you didn't notice yesterday.

One thing, just look to the side, walk a different way, see something that you didn't see the day before.

And if you practice that every day and you can either write it on your phone, write it in a journal or just make a note of it, you're going to train your brain to look at things differently.

And my silly mantra that I keep in my head sometimes I tell people is, look differently, see better.

And why wouldn't we all want to see better?

And people are overwhelmed.

I'm not putting anything more on their plate.

I'm giving them tools to say, not only can you look at things differently, including your family, your pets, your relationships, your situation, but it enables you to engage in the world, I think, in a more

gratifying way.

I have met people in the seat next to me in an airplane when most people just put their headphones in, and there's nothing wrong with putting your headphones in, but I've had life-changing conversations because I noticed something.

My editor of my book saved someone's life.

The title of my book is Visual Intelligence, Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life.

I hated the title.

I said to the editor, I didn't change anybody's life.

He said, you changed mine.

I saved a life on the subway because of your book.
