Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each Other

David Brooks - HOW TO KNOW A PERSON: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen

Listen Later

You might recognize David Brooks from his columns in The New York Times or his essays in The Atlantic. Perhaps you’ve seen him on PBS NewsHour or Meet the Press. He’s also a prolific author. In fact, his 2019 book The Second Mountain was a major inspiration for this program. We discuss that as well as David’s new book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen (Penguin Random House).

 

Our conversation with "Brooksie" went in a number of surprising directions:

  • Sociological observations (and confessions) of New York Mets fans;
  • The way lifelong friends enrich our lives;
  • Depression - fair warning that this section gets pretty gritty and candid;
  • How, as observant Jews, we both discovered Christianity later in life;
  • As Jews who are Christian, whether we have any ambivalence;
  • American Evangelicalism - talk about ambivalence!
  • David's writing process and the motivation of deadlines;
  • and much, much more!
