In \u003ci\u003eHow to Know a Person,\u003c\/i\u003e Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing essential questions: 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?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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. \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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50263558160657,"sku":"CIN059323006XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50710766387473,"sku":"GOR014043971","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":50798054277393,"sku":"CIN059323006XLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983928299793,"sku":"NIN9780593230060","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51358914216209,"sku":"GOR014237334","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51389446291729,"sku":"CIN059323006XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51389446422801,"sku":"CIN059323006XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52705010090257,"sku":"GOR014587948","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53046654238993,"sku":"GOR014713946","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0BV65SS5X.jpg?v=1751008399","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/how-to-know-a-person-book-david-brooks-9780593230060","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
