The Road to Character by David Brooks

4.0

---

David Brooks explores what it means to become a person of (good) character by dissecting the lives of a handful of historical figures who are generally well esteemed as "moral giants." Brooks' insights into character formation are interesting on their own but not necessarily novel reads if you follow his writing in the NY Times. To me, the highlight of this book was that it was like reading an anthology of biographies.
