In “The Road to Character,” David Brooks invites us on a thought-provoking journey through the lives of historical figures who exemplified moral fortitude. With his characteristic wit and insight, Brooks explores the virtues that shaped these individuals, challenging readers to reflect on their own character development. I found myself captivated by his nuanced portraits, particularly the story of Frances Perkins, which left me pondering my own values. This book isn’t just a read; it’s a conversation starter that lingers long after the last page.
Character is built in the course of your inner confrontation.
