Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewOriginal and useful… Brooks is a chatty, likeable guide * The TLS *
A hands-on guide to making meaningful human connections * Kirkus Reviews *
It really is
a manual for our times - and
everyone should read it -- Matthew D'Ancona
David Brooks's superb new book * The New European *
I raced through the book, which is
well-structured and engagingly written,
and afterwards found myself making a greater effort in conversations. At the school gates, I swapped my formulaic how-are-yous for questions that invite a more genuine response, sometimes simply: “How’s your day been?” I became more alert to my bad habit of “topping” – when someone confides in you and you top it with a sob story of your own. I made tiny changes, things that friends would be unlikely to notice – and yet
the difference was transformative -- Sophie McBain * The New Statesman *
How to Know A Person offers a series of well-wrought stories and punchy reflections on relationship-building * Church Times *
