Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"As #1 New York Times bestselling author David 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 seen -- to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.' And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In 'How 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 person's 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 Person' helps 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 Person' is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood."--From publisher.
