I once gave a book to a friend with high recommendations. They gave the book back a few weeks later and said "sorry, nothing really jumped out at me...I didn't like it." This caused me to stop and think about how much of life one is missing if they are forever fixated on sensational things as opposed to choosing to realize that most of this world and most of life are made up of non-sensational things. If you go through life expecting all important things to jump out at you, you will miss most of what life consists of.
