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 lives-from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Road to Character and The Second MountainIf you are going to care for someone you must first understand them. If you're going to hire marry or befriend someone you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes "The older I get the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family company classroom community or nation: the ability to see each other to know other people to make 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 to 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 Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theatre 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 towards others it helps readers 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 a profoundly creative act: 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 seeking to understand and yearning to be understood.
