“I wrote this book not sure I could follow the road to character, but I wanted at least to know what the road looks like and how other people have trodden it.”—David Brooks
With the wisdom, humor, curiosity, and sharp insights that have brought millions of readers to his New York Times column and his previous bestsellers, David Brooks has consistently illuminated our daily lives in surprising and original ways. In The Social Animal, he explored the neuroscience of human connection and how we can flourish together. Now, in The Road to Character, he focuses on the deeper values that should inform our lives. Responding to what he calls the culture of the Big Me, which emphasizes external success, Brooks challenges us, and himself, to rebalance the scales between our “résumé virtues”—achieving wealth, fame, and status—and our “eulogy virtues,” those that exist at the core of our being: kindness, bravery, honesty, or faithfulness, focusing on what kind of relationships we have formed.
Looking to some of the world’s greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders, Brooks explores how, through internal struggle and a sense of their own limitations, they have built a strong inner character. Labor activist Frances Perkins understood the need to suppress parts of herself so that she could be an instrument in a larger cause. Dwight Eisenhower organized his life not around impulsive self-expression but considered self-restraint. Dorothy Day, a devout Catholic convert and champion of the poor, learned as a young woman the vocabulary of simplicity and surrender. Civil rights pioneers A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin learned reticence and the logic of self-discipline, the need to distrust oneself even while waging a noble crusade.
Blending psychology, politics, spirituality, and confessional, The Road to Character provides an opportunity for us to rethink our priorities, and strive to build rich inner lives marked by humility and moral depth.
“Joy,” David Brooks writes, “is a byproduct experienced by people who are aiming for something else. But it comes.”

努力提高Adam II不會讓你的人生迴到平衡,因為Adam I本身就不站在II的對麵天平上。作者的這種粗劣設定拉低瞭這部作品的整體價值,但對於普通雞湯受眾來說,卻這又極為迎閤他們一分為二的價值觀。

評分嚮往George Eliot和Lewes的愛情。(Lewes一直鼓勵Eliot寫小說,Eliot寫好瞭第一章給他看,意識到Eliot有成為偉大小說傢的天賦,兩個人都哭瞭)
評分作者一本正經地夾帶私貨這樣真的好嗎?真正決定社會對人的評價的是人對這個社會的貢獻。而如今這個時代,一個人可以有很多缺點,卻仍然對社會有深遠的影響。
