“The Road to Character” is a hyper-readable, lucid, often richly detailed human story. David Brooks is the author of this book. David Brooks is the bestselling author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement; Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There; and On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense. His book “The Road to Character” is about the cultural shift from the “little me” to the “BIG ME,” from a culture that encourages people to think humbly of themselves to a culture that encourages people to see themselves as the center of the universe.

This cultural shift encourages us to think about having a great career but leaves nothing for us to develop an inner life and character. For Brooks, we have lost our way to “being good” and “doing good.” Brooks frames the discussion by contrasting “resume virtues” those skills that one brings to the job market that contribute to external success with “eulogy virtues” those that are at the core of our being like courage, honesty, loyalty, and the quality of our relationships that contribute to real joy.
