The Road to Character
by David Brooks
Resume virtues vs. Eulogy virtues. Both are important. Brooks presents evidence that western culture has tilted too far in favor of resume virtues. Here, he offers eight mini-biographies of folk, from Augustine to Eisenhower, who developed their eulogy virtues - thus changing the world for the better.
I enjoyed the mini-biographies - they were the right length for my level of interest -though it was occasionally hard to connect them with the virtues he presented. The first and last chapters deliver the heart of Brooks' message. They're important - so could have used more editing - but I'm glad I read it.
