How to know a person : the art of seeing others deeply - Salem NonFiction Bk Clb

This book is by David Brooks, the NYT columnist. "Being a good conversationalist isn't about having the wittiest story or knowing tons of facts. That's called being a good entertainer. People feel like they've had a good conversation when the other person has invited them to contribute and is genuinely interested in what they have to say." (Rebecca Bruehlman) Brooks "poses thought-provoking questions and holistic insights—e.g., 'A person is a point of view. Every person you meet is a creative artist who takes the events of life and, over time, creates a very personal way of seeing the world.'” (Kirkus)
