Join OLLI as we welcome New York Times Opinion columnist David Brooks.
We’re living in dire times. People don’t know their neighbors. We disregard someone’s entire personhood based on a single political view. Individualism often supplants social responsibility when it matters most. At the center of our many societal ills, David Brooks argues, is the fact that we simply don’t treat each other well. We’ve forgotten how to connect with one another on a human level. Fortunately, these skills are learnable and have far-reaching effects, from healing personal and familial relationships to making you a more effective leader and strengthening your business impact. Based on his bestselling book, “How to Know a Person,” this talk is ultimately a guide to becoming a better person, living a more connected and fulfilling life, and repairing our torn social fabric.
