And yet we humans donât do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, 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 personâs story should you pay attention to? 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. 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." --publisher's website. 541 $d 20231124. 650 $a Social interaction. 650 $a Social psychology. 650 1 $a Caring. 650 $a Interpersonal relations. 650 $a Empathy. 650 $a Belonging (Social psychology.) 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 fast 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240809020420.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240703010437.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20240509010444.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012919.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010757.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010305.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011835.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20240109010615.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20231220010826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83CC73D49F0511EE90DE8C523AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
