À propos de ce titre
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person and fostering deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives—from the author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.”

And yet all around are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, 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?

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.

Avis de la critique

Praise for the works of David Brooks

The Second Mountain

“Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily incisive.”—The Washington Post

The Road to Character

“David Brooks’s gift—as he might put it in his swift, engaging way—is for making obscure but potent social studies research accessible and even startling.”—The New York Times Book Review

“A powerful, haunting book that works its way beneath your skin.”—The Guardian

“Original and eye-opening . . . Brooks is a normative version of Malcolm Gladwell, culling from a wide array of scientists and thinkers to weave an idea bigger than the sum of its parts.”—USA Today

The Social Animal

“Provocative and fascinating . . . seeks to do nothing less than revolutionize our notions about how we function and conduct our lives.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Brooks’s considerable achievement comes in his ability to elevate the unseen aspects of private experience into a vigorous and challenging conversation about what we all share.”—San Francisco Chronicle

If you are completely new to connecting with people and don't know where to start, this book might be helpful. For everybody that is already having deep connections, there is not a lot to learn. Said this, it is still worth a listen. Details about personal relationships, customer relationships and finding good topics to talk about are explained in details and for the key takeaways.

Too shallow, yet useful

Das Schöne an diesem Buch ist, dass es uns die Werkzeuge gibt uns selber zu hinterfragen. Es zeigt eindrucksvoll, was es bedeutet wirklich präsent zu sein und unsere Mitmenschen tatsächlich zu sehen. Es hilft dabei herauszufinden bei welcher Lebensaufgabe wir uns befinden und wie wir unseren eigenen Charakter definieren können.

This is a very comforting story about interpersonal relationships and personal growth. However, some of the parts are oversimplified, I wished the author provided more hard fact knowledge instead of a very subjective narrative built on storytelling. Overall, I really enjoyed listening this audiobook.

A plea for more empathy

Great book! It touches a lot of different subjects around the topic of conversation and how to get to know a person. I learned a lot about my own behaviors but also in how to be a better communicator

I learned so much from this book
