The Road to Character by David Brooks
5.0
When I read Tim Fenriss's 'Tools of Titans,' I thought, "These are wonderful vignettes about and interviews with the kind of people Tim Fenriss thinks merit emulation. But where are the people I think merit emulation? Where are the pol-mil professionals? The educators? The writers and thinkers and artists?"
Well, here they are, in the 'The Road to Character.' With this volume, columnist David Brooks explores the lives of figures from literary, political, and philosophical history. In tracing their "roads to character," he searches for commonalities and lessons that we can apply in our own lives. This is a thoughtful and sensitive book, clearly a work of great passion and love. It fascinated me, and I recommend it to all adults.
