How to Know a Person - David Brooks

How to Know a Person presents a powerful, research-backed case for the importance of deep connection in an increasingly disconnected world. David Brooks explores the science and art of truly seeing and understanding others, drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy to reveal how human relationships shape our well-being, identity, and sense of meaning. Through stories and studies, he demonstrates that relational health is not just an emotional luxury - it is a biological and social necessity, influencing everything from our mental resilience to our physical health.

“To be truly known is one of the great privileges of being human. It is through our relationships that we come alive, that we grow, and that we find purpose.” — David Brooks

For those who believe that the deepest work we do is not in solitude, but in the sacred, everyday act of knowing and being known.
