David Brooks has been a featured guest at many Westmont events. 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 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. (From the publisher.)
