YPL Presents: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply With David Brooks

Join us for an online conversation with David Brooks as he discusses his book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply.

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. 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.
