The Art of Seeing Others Deeply with David Brooks

David Brooks of The New York Times is probably the most influential commentator in America. He returns to Dalkey to explain the critical art of seeing others. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something larger in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them and what kind of conversations should you have? Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theatre, philosophy, history, and education to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. In an unconnected, atomised world, making connections is more crucial than ever.
