The Road to Character by David Brooks
3.0

I'm pretty torn on this book. I liked the historical examples, but I kind of feel like this book was trying too hard. Self centeredness got mashed in with selfies and snapchat. I will admit Brooks attempted to skirt around actively calling out Millennial, and he did bring up that the past wasn't perfect, with racism, sexism and all the other things, but it still felt bashing of todays culture.

Maybe it's just that I'm not in the mainstream (goodreads is my social media, as an illustration), but I'm not sure how I feel about what he said. Maybe I need to sit with it a while longer.

Honestly, I think it's a good conversation starter, and would encourage other people to read it, but don't necessarily think that it should be put into practice.
