Underlying IFSEL’s whole community approach to SEL is the goal of creating schools where all children and adults feel a sense of belonging. David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” In this book, Brooks sets out to outline how we can do better at this and poses questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?
