Reviews
Praise for the works of David Brooks The Second Mountain "Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily incisive." -- The Washington Post The Road to Character "David Brooks's gift--as he might put it in his swift, engaging way--is for making obscure but potent social studies research accessible and even startling." -- The New York Times Book Review "A powerful, haunting book that works its way beneath your skin." --The Guardian "Original and eye-opening . . . Brooks is a normative version of Malcolm Gladwell, culling from a wide array of scientists and thinkers to weave an idea bigger than the sum of its parts." -- USA Today The Social Animal "Provocative and fascinating . . . seeks to do nothing less than revolutionize our notions about how we function and conduct our lives." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Brooks's considerable achievement comes in his ability to elevate the unseen aspects of private experience into a vigorous and challenging conversation about what we all share." -- San Francisco Chronicle, Praise for David Brooks The Second Mountain "Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily incisive." -- The Washington Post The Road to Character "David Brooks's gift--as he might put it in his swift, engaging way--is for making obscure but potent social studies research accessible and even startling." -- The New York Times Book Review "A powerful, haunting book that works its way beneath your skin." --The Guardian "Original and eye-opening . . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * 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 author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain "More than a guide to better conversations, it's a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living. It's a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their relationships and broaden their perspectives."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes (Summer Reading Pick) As 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., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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 author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain "More than a guide to better conversations, it's a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living.

    I was very satisfied with this seller! The book came in the exact condition that was originally described, and I was being updated consistently with when the item was shipped as well as when I’d receive it. The seller was on point with communication and I really appreciate that so much because I was able to know when I’d receive the item and I got it at the perfect timing when I needed it!!

    The item was exactly as described and pictured. Even with shipping the price was a great value compared to brand new Ariat boots. It was obvious that a lot of care was put into packaging it. Shipping cost were very reasonable.
