X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: justify\;">David Brooks
  will discuss his book\,&nbsp\;<em>How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing
  Others Deeply</em>\, in which he helps us pose essential questions:&nbsp\
 ;If you want to know a person\, what kind of attention should you cast on 
 them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person&r
 squo\;s story should you pay attention to?</p>\n<p style="text-align: just
 ify\;">Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity and determination to gro
 w as a person\, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscienc
 e and the worlds of theater\, philosophy\, history\, and education to pres
 ent a welcoming\, hopeful\, integrated approach to human connection.&nbsp\
 ;<em>How to Know a Person</em>&nbsp\;helps readers become more understandi
 ng and considerate toward others\, and to find the joy that comes from bei
 ng seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is r
 iven by fragmentation\, hostility\, and misperception.</p>\n<p style="text
 -align: justify\;">The act of seeing another person\, Brooks argues\, is p
 rofoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something 
 large in them and\, in turn\, see something larger in ourselves?&nbsp\;<em
 >How to Know a Person</em>&nbsp\;is for anyone searching for connection\, 
 and yearning to be understood.</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Regis
 ter now to take part in a riveting and timeless conversation on how to con
 nect with people from all walks of life\, and why doing so is paramount to
  our individual and communal growth.</p>\n<p class="heading4">About the Au
