Best Of: David Brooks on the Art of Seeing Others Deeply
New York Times columnist and acclaimed author David Brooks has been trying to learn the skills that go into seeing others, understanding others, making other people feel respected, valued, and safe. Such social skills may sound trifling, but mastering them, David believes, could help us all make better decisions, enhance our creativity, and maybe even repair our nation’s fraying social fabric.
This episode first aired in November 2023.
Host: Rufus Griscom
Guest: David Brooks
Book: How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen
