An occasional series in which writers speak for themselves.

A longtime opinion columnist for the New York Times and commentator on “PBS NewsHour,” David Brooks is also the author of multiple bestselling books, including Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, and The Road to Character. His new work is How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen, which the Philadelphia Inquirer calls “provocative and fascinating…[it] seeks to do nothing less than revolutionize our notions about how we function and conduct our lives.”
Brooks recently discussed How to Know a Person with author/attorney Talmage Boston. Listen to the podcast here. [And read Boston’s recent feature on How to Know a Person here.]
