At a holiday gift exchange with one of my monthly book clubs, I was fortunate to unwrap “How to Know a Person – The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen” by #1 New York Times bestselling author David Brooks.
Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen – to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard and understood.
We all can recall deep conversations with people who listened to what we were saying and looked into our eyes with complete understanding. Being understood and listened to, feeling considered, and the joy of connection never get old.
