-- Art of seeing others deeply and being deeply seen2023., Adult, Random House Call No: NEW 305.5 B873h Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?
