1- Road To Character by David Brooks
David Brooks, writer and columnist at the New York Times, examines his life and the lives of Dwight Eisenhower, George Marshall and George Eliot among others, searching for ways people build character.
Brooks hopes his readers will come away pursuing “eulogy virtues” with the same vigor they pursue professional success and that they discover there is wisdom in history and literature that can not be found in academic journals.
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.
