Seeing Someone Deeply: How We Can Invest in Our Relationships with David Brooks

As you think about your New Year’s resolution, you may be focusing on a fitness journey or career aspirations, but have you considered building a relationship plan for 2024?  Healthy relationships are the cornerstone of a more fulfilling and meaningful life.  Are there current relationships you would like to invest in, relationships from the past you want to reignite, or are you looking to create new ones in the new year? 

In this episode of Celebrations Chatter, I get the privilege of engaging in a profound conversation with New York Times columnist and author, David Brooks, where we explore his newest book How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen.  We explore the book's powerful message, emphasizing the significance of understanding others and building upon relationships. However, our journey doesn't stop there — David shares an invaluable perspective on supporting loved ones during crises.  Together we address the loneliness epidemic, dive into the importance of traditions, and share our own reflections on religion, all while navigating societal expectations. The depth of David's knowledge left me in awe, and I am confident you will find our conversation equally thought-provoking and inspiring.

As we embark on the journey of a new year, let's not only set personal goals, but also commit to nurturing the relationships that enrich our lives. Join me in this insightful conversation with David Brooks, and together, let's make 2024 a year of meaningful connections.
