The Road to Character by David Brooks

Описание к видео The Road to Character by David Brooks

David Brooks' The Road to Character examines the shift from a culture of humility to one of self-promotion. Brooks contrasts figures who prioritized self-effacement and service, such as Frances Perkins and George Marshall, with those who embraced self-aggrandizement. He explores the concept of "vocation" as a counterpoint to the pursuit of personal happiness, and analyzes how different moral frameworks shape character development. The text also discusses the roles of suffering, love, and community in achieving a meaningful life, contrasting a "Big Me" versus "Little Me" mentality. Finally, the book uses biographical examples to illustrate various approaches to living a virtuous life.
