How to know a person : the art of seeing others deeply and being deeply seen

Brooks, David, 1961- author

Overview

If 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.
