In \n\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? \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDriven 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. \n\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. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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? \n\u003ci\u003eHow to Know a Person\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brooks, David\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Trade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2025-10-21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Social Science \/ Sociology \/ General|Self-Help \/ Personal Growth \/ General|Philosophy \/ Ethics \u0026amp; Moral Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593230077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780593230077\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Trade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53033020981529,"sku":"SP-9780593230077","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780593230077_spiral.png?v=1787281243","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/how-to-know-a-person-the-art-of-seeing-others-deeply-and-being-deeply-seen","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
