How To Know A Person

Are you a diminisher or an illuminator?

A diminisher is a person who makes others feel small or unimportant.

An illuminator is a person who makes others feel good about themselves.

I have not read this book yet, but I saw an interview with its author, David Brooks.

A diminisher shows little or no interest in another person.

An illuminator, however, does just the opposite.

He or she asks questions and shows a genuine interest in learning about the other person.

Knowing that someone really wants to know you has the effect of raising your self esteem.

So, I’m going to buy his book and learn how I can be an ILLUMINATOR!

Stay tuned!
