About Rob Walker
The Art of Noticing is a newsletter about creativity, work, and staying human. It’s written by me, journalist and author Rob Walker. I share useful ideas, practical prompts, and unexpected inspiration that will help you pay attention to what you care about, and care about what you pay attention to. It’s for people who want to stay interested in life.
I started the newsletter as an addendum to my 2019 book The Art of Noticing, conceiving of it as a way to continue the book’s mission. To my delight, the newsletter has since taken on a life of its own, with reader-driven features like Icebreaker of the Week and The Dictionary of Missing Words.
