Welcome to "How To Be...", guiding you through life's tricky topics and skills by reading through the best books out there. We’re told it’s a fundamental need in humans to be seen. Counsellor Shala Nicely says: "Feeling seen by others is a basic human need. Its basis is evolutionary: If your tribe didn’t see you, there was a risk you’d be left behind when the nomadic life of early humans dictated they move, and being alone equated to death." So what can we do to be visible? I spoke to Brown Girl Like Me author Jaspreet Kaur on being seen, as well as looked at other experts' books to see if their advice can help all of us? And also hearing from others who have gained some mastery over themselves. Please hit subscribe to hear the whole series on life skills! It should be short and sweet. I look forward to journeying with you through this maze of hacks.
