Episode notes

The host introduces David Brooks and his book, 'How to Know a Person,' discussing the cultural and political tensions in society today and emphasizing the importance of understanding individuals as unique individuals and members of different groups.

We’re living in a cultural moment where so many people feel unseen and unheard. What if the answer is not some big government or nonprofit program, but rather something as intimate as this: a meaningful conversation. David Brooks joins the podcast to talk about his new book, “How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen.” He and Curtis discuss the art of connecting with another person, and why our society so deeply needs to revive the skills involved.
