In his latest book, <i>Look: A Practical Guide for Improving Your Observational Skills</i>, Gilmore introduces the metaphor of "six looking glasses." Each looking glass represents a particular skill to master in order to enhance the way we look at the world. <br /><br /> The six skills include binoculars, bifocals, magnifying glass, microscope, rose-colored glasses, and blindfold looking.
