In a society where so many feel unseen and unknown, how do we become the kind of people who deeply see and know those around us? The conflict and division in our society demonstrate the need for people committed to pursuing human connection, even across lines of difference. What can we do – as individuals and in community – that will help us really understand the people in our lives?
Drawing upon the research in his latest book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen, New York Times columnist David Brooks will help us become more hopeful about our ability to create essential connections. He will share insights on skills of attention and conversation that can be transformational. With his customary curiosity and wisdom, David will help us to find joy in more deeply knowing, and being known by, those around us.
