All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In \u003ci\u003eHow to Know a Person, \u003c\/i\u003e 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eHow to Know a Person\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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? \u003ci\u003eHow to Know a Person\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 059379365X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593793657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"David Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131700998399,"sku":"9780593793657","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05fffab0-205e-42aa-bc29-37586517c178.jpg?v=1687475906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-know-a-person-david-brooks-9780593793657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
