“This book was my favorite this year”, “I love David Brooks! The Road to Character was fabulous”. Responding to what he calls the culture of the Big Me, which emphasizes external success, Brooks challenges us, and himself, to rebalance the scales between our “resumé virtues”-achieving wealth, fame, and status-and our “eulogy virtues,” those that exist at the core of our being: kindness, bravery, honesty, or faithfulness, focusing on what kind of relationships we have formed. Now, in The Road to Character, he focuses on the deeper values that should inform our lives. In The Social Animal, he explored the neuroscience of human connection and how we can flourish together. With the wisdom, humor, curiosity, and sharp insights that have brought millions of readers to his New York Times column and his previous bestsellers, David Brooks has consistently illuminated our daily lives in surprising and original ways.
