Book Review: The Noticer
Sometimes its the simple principles in life that we can so easily miss and it just takes someone to help us refocus. That is exactly what Andy Andrews does in The Noticer. The subtitle ‘Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective’ is one of the greatest lessons we could learn and apply to our lives. In his book Andrews uses a character named Jones to bring perspective to several individuals in a small town. Jones is that reminder as he quietly moves in and out of the lives of members of this small town. Through a variety of circumstances and interactions he shows the reader that our responses to each other and our situations completely depend on our perspective. No matter where we find ourselves or what the situation might be around us perspective can totally shift our mindset. Simply by changing our perspective we can change the course of our lives and sometimes we all need a little reminder of that fact. Andrews also uses Jones to show love, kindness and value to others that we somehow have forgotten to include in our daily interactions with people. This is a simple story which makes for an entertaining and easy read that I would recommend everyone add to their must read list to bring a little perspective back into your life!
