The Road to Character

The Road to Character by David Brooks — a #1 New York Times bestseller — invites readers to shift their focus from external success and “résumé virtues” to inner moral depth and “eulogy virtues.”

Drawing on the lives of historical figures like Frances Perkins, Dwight Eisenhower, Dorothy Day, and civil rights leaders A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, Brooks explores how personal struggle, humility, and self-discipline shape true character.

Blending psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and storytelling, this profound and inspiring work challenges us to rethink our priorities and pursue a life guided by integrity, humility, and inner strength.
