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 determination to grow as a person, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and 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 towwards others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way, it offers a possible rememdy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception.
