In a noisy world full of distractions, Notice What Matters is a compelling call to slow down and pay attention to the things that truly shape your life. Matt Martin invites readers on a journey of intentional awareness, revealing how the simple act of noticing can unlock greater clarity, purpose, and growth.
With engaging insights and practical takeaways, each chapter helps you notice key areas that often go overlooked—your habits, relationships, emotions, unique wiring, and even your words. From crafting a meaningful life plan to recognizing the power of your circle and the health of your soul, Matt equips you to see what you’ve been missing to take aligned action.
You’ll discover that noticing isn’t just about awareness. It’s about direction. Noticing navigates, action activates, and consistency compounds. Whether you’re seeking greater purpose, stronger relationships, or lasting impact, this book helps you aim your attention where it matters most.
Notice What Matters is a guide for anyone ready to live more intentionally, lead more effectively, and love more deeply—starting now.
I first met author Matt Martin at a lobby bar in Newport while I was on a work trip with coworkers. He and his wife were exploring New England with friends, and somehow we all hit it off. We connected on Facebook, then went our separate ways.
Six months later, Matt reached out to my COO, Jim, (who was also in the lobby bar with us drinking his famous Martinis) asking to interview him for his next book on leadership and noticing what matters. He had a whole interview planned, and Jim was genuinely honored to be included. Unfortunately, Jim passed away in January from a courageous battle with cancer. Reading Notice What Matters after Jim’s passing has been incredibly moving. Seeing his words and leadership etched in the book feels like a permanent reminder of who he was and the impact he had on those around him.
It was a special read and a great way to remember a remarkable person and reflect on the lessons he lived by. Thank you, Matt!!
What a read. I have heard Pastor Matt preach for years, and he has always been so full of wisdom, and this book is no exception. I was so inspired by all the practical ways to really notice what matters and I am going to apply them to my life.
