The Noticer by Andy Andrews

Recently read The Noticer, a book about life change and perspective. The main character, Andy, encounters a strange man at one of the lowest points of Andy’s life. The man is, by his own definition, a “noticer,” a person who observes things that others miss. He encourages Andy, gets him reading biographies of men who overcame their situations, and helps him to get his life back on track. As the book progresses you see the number of people who have experienced a new perspective!

When Booksneeze.com sent me the complimentary copy of the book, I was surprised by the author. My first knowledge of Andy Andrews was as a comedian. It was a blessing to see his skill as a writer and motivator. He presents a message of life change by making us become a part of the life experience of the characters, but then he turns it around and has the reader look inwardly and make it personal. While one cannot expect too much from a book, it did make me think about how I treat others, how I react to situations, and how I look at life. I highly recommend this book.
