David Brooks, one of the nation’s leading writers and commentators, presents How to Know a Person, a practical, heartfelt guide to the art of fostering deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives. Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, and from the worlds of theater, 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 discover the joy that comes from being seen.

Brooks is an op-ed columnist for the New York Times and appears regularly on the PBS shows News Hour and Meet the Press. He is the author of numerous bestselling books, including The Road to Character, The Second Mountain, and Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There.

Brooks will be in conversation with Krys Boyd, the host and managing editor of KERA-FM’s flagship midday talk show, Think.
