David Brooks is a Canadian-born American conservative political and cultural commentator who writes for the New York Times and The Atlantic.
He’s also written for the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Weekly Standard. He joined Weymouth, Massachusetts native Mark Shields from 2001 to 2020 on PBS News Hour and continues to comment on PBS.
In his recent book How to Know a Person, he offers observations and personal experiences that help us become more skilled at the art of seeing others and making them feel seen, heard, and understood.
Chapters include: The Right Questions, The Art of Empathy, and What Is Wisdom?
In Brook’s words: “I’m hoping this book will help you adopt a different posture toward other people, a different way of being present with people, a different way of having bigger conversations.”
