How to Know a Person
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person and fostering deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives—from the author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain “More than a guide to better conversations, it’s a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their relationships and broaden their perspectives.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (Summer Reading Pick) As David 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.” And yet all around are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing essential questions: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to? Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity and determination to grow as a person, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and the worlds of theater, philosophy, history, and education to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them and, in turn, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.
Rapport
'Laurence Alison is one of my academic heroes. He does what every writer longs to do. He makes the difficult clear - without losing his rigour.' Malcolm Gladwell 'They are quietly revolutionising the study and practice of interrogation... Their findings are changing the way law enforcement and security agencies approach the delicate and vital task of gathering human intelligence.' Guardian Get what you want from even the most difficult characters All of us have to deal with difficult people. Whether we're asking our neighbour to move a fence or our boss for a pay rise, we can struggle to avoid arguments and get what we want. Laurence and Emily Alison are world leaders in forensic psychology, and they specialise in the most difficult interactions imaginable: criminal interrogations. They advise and train the police, security agencies, the FBI and the CIA on how to deal with extremely dangerous suspects when the stakes are high. After 30 years' work - and unprecedented access to 2,000 hours of terrorist interrogations - they have developed a ground-breaking model of interpersonal communication. This deceptively simple approach to handling any encounter works as well for teenagers as it does for terrorists. Now it's time to share it with the world. Rapport reveals that every interaction follows four styles: Control (the lion), Capitulate (the mouse), Confront (the Tyrannosaur) and Co-operate (the monkey). As soon as you understand these styles and your own goals you can shape any conversation at will. And you'll be closer to the real secret: how to create instant rapport.

President Tom Cronin was regarded as one of the most effective college presidents in the American west. Whitman College, under his leadership, was regularly hailed by THE PRINCETON REVIEW of BEST COLLEGES for extraordinary administrative leadership and high student satisfaction. It also twice earned the highest accreditation rankings of any college or university in that part of the country. Fellow scholar and CNN commentator Michael A. Genovese edited a volume of essays in tribute to him, writing that “It is unusual to become a Mount Rushmore scholar in any one field, but Tom Cronin has made that tremendous accomplishment in two different academic fields - he is one of the most respected American presidency scholars in the nation. And he is one of the most influential leadership scholars.” Cronin earned his Ph.D. in Political Science at Stanford University. He served as a White House Fellow on the White House staff and later served as a scholar in residence at the Brookings Institution, the Aspen Institute, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions and the Hoover Institution. Tom Cronin taught for nearly three decades at Colorado College where he received several awards for teaching and advising and served in 1991 as Interim President. He served as President of Whitman College from 1993 through 2005. He was co-author for thirty years of two best selling college textbooks, Government by The People, and State and Local Government. He has also written several books about politics, the presidency, public policy and political films and novels. He is co-author of the prizewinning Leadership Matters.
