The Road to Character by David Brooks

3.0

I thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter/introduction of this book, which outlined the need for strong character in today's world, as well as something of the road/path for getting there. The short biographical sketches that were included as examples of individuals with strong character seemed entirely subjective. The character traits that were explored in-depth could have been the result of intentional development or could have been the results of abuse. Brooks interprets the stories of these individuals loosely, without sufficient documentation to support his inferences.
