If you find yourself constantly feeling bored with your life, artist and illustrator Keri Smith’s new book, How to Be an Explorer of the World, may be just the thing to get you out of the rut.
Filled with small, engaging activities that you can participate in on a daily basis, this book urges you to interact with your surroundings in new ways—according to Maria Popova of Brainpickings, “these playful and poetic micro-projects aren’t just a simple creativity booster — they’re potent training for what Buddhism would call “living from presence” and inhabiting your life more fully”.
This project started when Smith scribbled down a list one sleepless night a few years ago—you can find the 13-point guide to exploring the world below.
The book based on this list is filled with great graphics, illustrations and hand-written quotes that would be sure to hold your attention—you can purchase it here for US$10.
