Chapter 1 - Observation Skills Summary

“Thinking For Yourself”: Chapter 1 – Observation

Summary of Chapter

I believe this chapter in the book was trying to explain how to be a better observer. This chapter gave many different exercises to test you. The exercises were testing your ability to observe and how you observe. Some of the exercises also tested your ability to push past your being impatient and to force you to control yourself; to make you sit and observe for a little bit longer. This chapter is trying to teach you how to slow down and dig deep within yourself to see how you think. By looking at yourself and the way you think could help you to become a better observer. You need to evaluate how you observe and change it to make it better. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. If you take your time and carefully observe the details of an object, person, place, or situation, you can solve problems or have more insight. Observation is a process of sensing, perceiving and thinking. If you take the time to learn this process, the rewards for yourself can be powerful.
