This video is a look at David Brooks' bestseller, "The Road to Character." Our society has shifted from a culture of humility to a culture that encourages people to see themselves as the center of the universe. Our thinking, actions and attitudes have changed since the 1940's.
Back then, people would check themselves against pride or self-glorification. But today, we are encouraged to seek recognition and toot our own horns. In today's world, we find ourselves with a clear strategy for achieving career success and no strategy for developing a profound character.
What are your eulogy virtues? What will people say about you at your funeral? Do you have a profound character? These stories about some of the world's greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders could inspire you to strengthen the weaknesses in your own character.
