Best Selling Books by David Brooks

Mensen écht kennen en diepe verbindingen aangaan is een kunst – die je kunt leren Er is volgens The New York Times-bestsellerauteur David Brooks één basisvaardigheid essentieel voor het geluk van ieder mens. En dat is het vermogen om anderen goed te kennen en hun het gevoel te geven dat ze worden gezien, gehoord, begrepen en op waarde worden geschat. Toch voelen veel mensen in onze samenleving zich onzichtbaar en onbelangrijk. In De kunst van mensen kennen vertelt Brooks hoe we het vermogen om anderen echt te zien kunnen verbeteren. Hoe communiceer je met de mensen om je heen? Welke vragen stel je en hoe luister je? Hoe voorkom je dat je iemand meteen in een hokje plaatst en hoe leer je door andermans ogen te kijken? Voor de antwoorden op deze vragen put Brooks uit de psychologie en de neurowetenschap, maar ook uit cultuur, geschiedenis en onderwijs. Hij stelt dat er niet alleen kennis en aandacht, maar vooral ook creativiteit nodig is om in iedereen iets bijzonders te zien. De kunst van mensen kennen is voor de lezer die anderen beter wil begrijpen én zelf beter begrepen wil worden. ‘Zijn columns staan steevast dagenlang op nummer een van bestgelezen stukken van de website van The New York Times.

Hay una capacidad que yace en el corazón de cualquier persona o comunidad: la de ver a los demás —en su sentido más profundo— y hacerlos sentir valorados, respetados y comprendidos. Sin embargo, a nuestro alrededor hay personas que se sienten invisibles en una sociedad fragmentada, hostil e insensible al sufrimiento. David Brooks se nutre de la psicología y la neurociencia, así como del teatro, la filosofía y la historia para ofrecer un enfoque esperanzador sobre la conexión humana que nos enseña a realizar acciones concretas, pequeñas pero significativas: ser un buen oyente, pedir y ofrecer perdón, sentarse con quien sufre, mirar las cosas desde la perspectiva del otro... En pocas palabras: ser más comprensivos —y compasivos— con nuestros semejantes. Cómo conocer a una persona es para aquellos que anhelan conectar verdaderamente con los demás. "Este libro ya es mi favorito de todos los que David ha escrito. [...] Más que una guía para tener mejores conversaciones, se trata de un proyecto para vivir de manera más conectada y humana. Es una lectura imprescindible para cualquiera que busque profundizar sus relaciones y ampliar sus perspectivas." —Bill Gates, GatesNotes (lecturas recomendadas)

N.°1 del New York Times. Una aventura intelectual conmovedora, un relato de logros y una defensa del progreso. Ésta es la historia de cómo se produce el éxito. Se cuenta a través de la vida de una pareja, Harold y Erica: cómo crecen, avanzan, retroceden, fracasan y triunfan. A partir de la gran cantidad de información que aporta sobre estos dos personajes, vívidamente descritos, Brooks ilustra un nuevo conocimiento fundamental de la naturaleza humana. Se ha producido una revolución científica, hemos aprendido más del cerebro humano en los últimos treinta años que en los trescientos anteriores. Resulta que la mente inconsciente es «la mayor parte» de la mente. Es el terreno de las emociones, las intuiciones, las tendencias, los deseos, las predisposiciones genéticas, los rasgos de la personalidad y las normas sociales, allí donde se forma el carácter y se toman las decisiones más importantes de la vida. Reseñas: «Provocador y fascinante... Brooks demuestra que lo que está más allá de nuestro control consciente es inmenso.» Philadelphia Enquirer « El animal social es autorizado, impresionantemente erudito y de gran alcance.» Newsweek

From the influential and hugely popular "New York Times" columnist and bestselling author of "Bobos in Paradise" comes a landmark exploration of how human beings and communities succeed.

Lorsque son mariage s’écroule après vingt-sept années de vie commune et deux enfants, David Brooks remet brutalement en question son mode de vie hyper-individualiste où le temps compte plus que les gens, la productivité plus que les relations. L’expérience de cet échec lui permet de développer la théorie de l’existence des « deux montagnes ». La réalisation de soi est la « première montagne », mais elle cache une « deuxième montagne » vers laquelle nous devons tous tendre pour remettre au centre de nos vies individuelles et collectives la question du lien. David Brooks est un célèbre éditorialiste du New York Times. Fin observateur du monde contemporain, il a inventé le concept du « bobo » (pour bourgeois-bohème). Il est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages best-sellers et il intervient régulièrement à la radio et à la télévision.

Suitable for all voices, this song cycle ("Three Poems of David Brooks") was inspired by the poetry of Australian writer David Brooks. The three poems used in this song cycle came from David's anthology "The Cold Front". In this instance, David's poems are written in the manner of the "deep image" poets of America. "The Cold Front" represents a journey by the poet through the darker side of his nature; however, within the poetry we see tremendous beauty and hope. The three poems selected for the song cycle, "Here", "The Dead" and "Explanation", bind the piece into a coherent whole. Emotionally the songs represent fear and acceptance, fear and mystery, joy, relief and irony.

Toute vie est un roman - mais quels sont les ressorts intimes de l'intrigue ? Selon David Brooks, trente ans de recherches scientifiques éclairent la question d'un jour nouveau : nous ne sommes ni des êtres rationnels, ni les jouets d'un inconscient de type freudien. Nous sommes avant tout des animaux sociaux, et cette réalité, inscrite au plus profond de nos êtres, dans nos cerveaux, explique notre façon d'évoluer dans l'existence. La science a enfin ouvert la boîte noire de notre esprit. Ses passionnantes découvertes, jusqu'ici confinées dans le cadre des publications savantes, bouleversent le champ de notre compréhension. Vulgarisateur de talent, David Brooks a su en tirer la trame d'une fiction : il nous livre, clés à l'appui, le récit de la vie de deux personnages, Erica et Harold, aussi différents qu'on peut l'être, qui finiront pourtant par bâtir ensemble leur vie et leur réussite. En décryptant leurs émotions, leurs intuitions, leurs désirs enfouis, ces lieux intimes où se forgent le caractère et la destinée, il brosse pour nous l'étonnant tableau de notre propre humanité.

This is a report on deaf-mute instruction presented at the Vienna International Exhibition in 1873. Authored by David Brooks, the report provides insights into the methods and approaches used in educating deaf-mute individuals during this period. It offers valuable historical context for understanding the evolution of special education and linguistic approaches to teaching those with hearing impairments.
