The Road to Character

Am I living my life more for my resume virtues or from my eulogy virtues to borrow from David Brooks' work The Road to Character, which I talk about as being one of the many aha moments that I had during this journey.

I do an annual solo wilderness trip and I listen to it during the drive to that trip and on that trip. And it's a, I would just say it's a truly important book for everyone to listen to. It's really quite impressive.

I wrote a book called The Road to Character a couple years ago based on this distinction between the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues.

did you ever read by the way the David Brooks book the road to character? No I'm familiar with it. It's excellent. I really recommend it.

And he says the resume virtues are like obviously you know what makes you high-rebel, what makes you a kind of interesting person at a dinner party. And the eulogy virtues are like what will they say about you at your funeral?

There's this great book by David Brooks, the political commentator. Uh, it's called a road to character.

And one of the most important books I read in this process was Road to Character by David Brooks. And he talks about eulogy virtues and resume virtues.

He's the best-selling author of several books, including The Road to Character, The Social Animal, and his latest book is How to Know a Person.

it's kind of rattling around my head when I wrote this and it's David Brooks's very fine book The Road to Character as I read that I thought you know this is a subject that just needs more exposition.
