I am beyond grateful for David Brooks and his work. It’s truly needed for the time we’re in now, and rarely do we get the exposure to his kind of words or a true assessment of the world, especially for people that don’t go seeking for new ways to view life. Absolute legend 🫡
David Brooks is inspiring me to expand intimacy and deepen relationships. Simply, I'm shifting my intention and attention. I sent the book to my brother, just a few weeks later, our conversations have moved from " the weather+" to knowing each other better in the present time. I'm very grateful to David Brooks ! Cathy S.
David had much knowledge and wisdom to share. I believe his one of the very few psychoanalysts, around which can give profound advice on what the frontier of human relationships and downfalls in this time and age.
It’s now 2:30 in the morning on the Eve of Christmas and Hanukkah and I find the interview so compelling. I dream a lot and hope his words resonate as I sleep. Thank you.
We're glad you enjoyed this interview! For more David Brooks content, we highly recommend another interview we did with him called "How To Live A Meaningful Life," which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/-JRSLhClyvw/видео.html.

I don't know if in trusting people "most people" you will find that they will trust you back (maybe it's 50/50?) but it does mean that you will find out fairly quickly people whom you can trust. One needs to be fairly careful with trust but it is always good to lead with it. It's a "handshake" announcing that you are trustworthy.
You can trust people without revealing your private information and still being authentic and honest. It just means you listen more, and speak brief but consciously and with good intentions as the basis. And be comfortable with long pauses and silence.
So, don't just 'be yourself', for most people, we need to change, not be ourselves rather be the better self. Like intelligent conversations like this.

So, this was great - as usual, but having lived, I suspect all in my right brain, in emotions rather than logic, I would like to ask you to be nice to my friend - (I’m talking to you, David Brooks:) Please be kind to yourself. This sounds like you feel bad about not giving your emotions enough attention. It’s fine. You’re fine. As it happens, I’ve shifted over to my logical left brain this past year and it’s an absolutely fascinating way to live. Not really for me, but it’s nice to visit. We all gravitate towards the place we feel most at home. So, I just wanted to remind you to be kind to yourself. What you bring to all your friends out here reminds us that we are good hearted people despite being imperfect. Thank you for what you do. BFF
First time listener of Mr Brooks. He’s brilliant though I’m grateful for the pragmatist nature of Donald Trump. We’ve had 4 years without his leadership. No one has gained. We’ve gone backwards in world politics and society.
I think this view is predicated on the belief that someone else's validation of you not only nurtures your existence but prevents you from ceasing to exist. This is certainly not true for other civilizations. In the West, with its survival resting upon capitalism and consumption, it may be true. But in self secure societies, they do not need external validation, they have it inside themselves.
Recently you described Kamala Harris as “despicable” ostensibly because she had changed some of her views. I suppose you think she’s not allowed to grow and change over the years? She’s not deserving of respect? Or, are you such a hard right conservative that you cannot grant her an inch? Do you really think it’s better for our Democracy to vote for Donald Trump, who has such exemplary views? Is so moral?
@67wwwoman Rather, “I’m a bit confused. I remembered you referring to Kamala Harris as being despicable because she had changed some of her views. Why this adjective?”
I heard David Brooks refer to Kamala Harris as “economically ignorant” on PBS. Sadly, he was appropriately blunt and spot on. In the prior decades, someone like KH would never had been considered as a credible candidate for President. She burned thru staff as vp and apparently did not prepare for meetings. Yet, some argued she had changed during this time, but there was little evidence of her change during tenure as vp.
Something about Brooks gives me the willies. Could be how often he’s been wrong in his punditry without accountability, or maybe it’s been his insufferable both-siderism that’s allowed bullies to keep pushing to the far right. Good anecdotes well told but there’s something fake about this wannabe guru.
OMG ! I can't even listen anymore .I' m so glad that my sons managed it without any lessons ,tutorials or other rules . Soon you come up with like Mark Aurelius said you should ask the very , very ,very right question 😂😂😂.Or even worse : some Doktor can put a fork in their neck 🤔😱 !!! Don't make such a fuss out of it , please ! Men already are scared enough , maybe more than before an interview for a job . You put women in a bad light , like judges and the death sentince can fall any time/date . Let them be natural and spontanious . No frame can make them feel comfortable . Just my oppinion , sorry 😊
How animated and happy David becomes when he starts talking about having conversations on trains with strangers!
David Brooks is so well spoken
David brooks writings are relevant to each of us. For musicians, his writing is essential for everyone on an artistic journey! Thank you David!
David Brooks is logical with feeling and in-depth critical thinking while being truly concerned for others.
This was a brilliant listen. Both of you did so well with great questions, great answers. Thankyou.

I've always felt safe, in spite of hard lessons learned. But i trust too easily.

Keep talking David. From my point of view, you seem to “get it”.

The interviewer asks good questions

I sooooo can relate to you ❤”
❤ Great stuff
Just went to Hoopla for "crucial conversations" audio book, ( note several authors), (3rd ed).

Yeah, I have realized that I haven't ever had a close personal relationship. I don't feel like an adult. I am 63.
@@kellyh5250 I can relate 😪
Dear David. Love you for story. I would like to tell you mine. How can I do that.😅 please tell me how.

The current problem in America is that its prople have voted to be lead by a man who has zero ‘admiration for acts of spiritual goodness.’

Harris, Obama, Clinton are just as immoral as Trump. You are just like all others...blind d by your chosen bias.

@@67wwwomanI also remember him describing Harris as being "financially illiterate" ..
I'm being bombarded with idiotic commercials every 2 minutes. So aggresive.
