Description: NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person in order to foster deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our livesfrom the author ofThe Road to CharacterandThe Second Mountain More than a guide to better conversations, its a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living. Its a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their relationships and broaden their perspectives.Bill Gates, GatesNotes (Summer Reading Pick) AsDavid Brooks observes, There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seento accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood. And yet we humans dont do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. InHow to Know a Person,Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a persons story should you pay attention to? Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity and his determination to grow as a person, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theater, philosophy, history, and education to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection.How to Know a Personhelps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves?How to Know a Personis for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.
