From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and attending a flavor university, Rubin shows us how to experience each day with depth, delight, and connection.
Drawing on cutting-edge science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to practice what she learns, she investigates the profound power of tuning in to the physical world.
In this journey of self-experimentation, Rubin explores the mysteries and joys of the Five Senses as a path to a happier, more mindful life.
This epiphany lifted her from a state of foggy preoccupation Into a World invigorated by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.

Then, one day, a visit to her eye doctor made her realize that she\'d been overlooking a key element of happiness: her Five senses.
