coreyln 's review for:
The Road to Character
by David Brooks
At times I felt like a lesser person as the stories of others unfolded. That is not a bad thing, but a drive to see how others were enduring tough situations and made difficult decisions in how they would act or not was inspiring. Shows me I still have a lot of growth to keep working on and that, while humbling, is good to keep me trying to be the "best me".
My rating on the book is because it did not challenge me long enough with new, thought-provoking challenges to mull over. The message was well presented and I got it before halfway through the book.
It is really important to have books like this. Too many are about how to win, compete, all about you. This book did not avoid that, correctly so, but did focus on others. We do not focus on others enough these days other than how they get in our way or we are judging them. I need good examples of how others make their decisions to help us refine how we make ours. More options gives us the ability to make beetter choices.
