A meditative exploration of how people-watching encourages us to be more curious about those around us, teaches us to decode our unique quirks and universal similarities, and enriches our digital-first lives

The fascinating practice of people watching is beginning to disappear. Whether we're exchanging messages on our phones or rushing through negotiating the practicalities of daily life, we are often too busy with our devices to notice those around us. But what do we miss when they all go unseen?

Widely acclaimed observer of daily life Professor Joe Moran has spent many hours watching people—and he’s learned that we can’t fully understand others unless we really look at them properly. In The Lost Art of People-Watching, he shows us how this uniquely human pastime can teach us to pay attention to the things we normally overlook, like the "baton signals" we use when we want to emphasize our speech, or the outdated gestures we use to signal paying the bill and asking the time—and thus learn new things about ourselves.

Along the way, he introduces famous people-watching sociologists, anthropologists, artists, and writers, from Erving Goffman and Desmond Morris to Alice Neel and Virginia Woolf. Through Moran’s own "field research", in train stations and art galleries, parks and offices, at house parties and restaurants, he reveals the hidden strangeness of human behavior and the unlikely things that unite us.

批評家のレビュー

“Combining fascinating theory and history with beautiful human observation, this book is a true delight.”—Katherine May, New York Times bestselling author of Wintering and Enchantment

“Habit and routine make us blind to the everyday familiar but Joe Moran reveals that the people we rarely notice in railway stations, parks, restaurants, and on city streets, are all uniquely mysterious and unknowable, as indeed are the people we think we know well. A salutary and eloquent reminder that the mundane is in fact the exotic. Thoroughly enjoyable.”—Michael Foley, author of The Age of Absurdity: Why Modern Life Makes it Hard to be Happy

“Who watches the people-watchers? Joe Moran does, in this inviting and exquisitely perceptive book about paying attention to the people around us—in railway stations, restaurants, and virtual rooms—that makes a quietly ethical argument for the irreplaceable value of every human life.”—Kieran Setiya, author of Life is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way
