If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them. If you''re going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood."
Review
I liked David’s previous book... but this one is even better. His key premise is one I haven't found elsewhere: that conversational and social skills aren't just innate traits-they can be learned and improved upon... It’s more than a guide to better conversations; it’s a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living. -- Bill Gates - 5 Great Things To Read and Watch this summer
