5- Road To Character by David Brooks
David Brooks, writer and columnist at the New York Times, he examines his life and the lives of Dwight Eisenhower, George Marshall and George Eliot among others, searching for ways people build character.

Some disagree with portions of ”Brooks” conclusions and their arguments are not unfair but he includes interesting stories and a compelling framework for finding purpose in more than wealth and professional success.
