提到品格,你会想到勤奋、谦虚、刻苦、宽容……等等,但今天为你总结的,是更高标准的“品格”——精英的品格。你仍然还能从今天的内容中看到关于勤奋、谦虚、刻苦、宽容等等这些词,但是咱们日课,给它们赋予了一个更高的标准、或者更深刻的内涵。我希望你能重温一次,因为品...

评分听过悼词的人都知道,人们对逝者的回忆和评价更多集中在他的品德与为人。而不是他曾经有哪些技能。美国《纽约时报》资深记者大卫· 布鲁克斯 (David Brooks)于2015年4月出版的《造就品格之路》(《The Road to Character》) 一书就是以讨论什么是简历优点和悼词品德开...

“I wrote this book not sure I could follow the road to character, but I wanted at least to know what the road looks like and how other people have trodden it.”—David Brooks
With the wisdom, humor, curiosity, and sharp insights that have brought millions of readers to his New York Times column and his previous bestsellers, David Brooks has consistently illuminated our daily lives in surprising and original ways. In The Social Animal, he explored the neuroscience of human connection and how we can flourish together. Now, in The Road to Character, he focuses on the deeper values that should inform our lives. Responding to what he calls the culture of the Big Me, which emphasizes external success, Brooks challenges us, and himself, to rebalance the scales between our “résumé virtues”—achieving wealth, fame, and status—and our “eulogy virtues,” those that exist at the core of our being: kindness, bravery, honesty, or faithfulness, focusing on what kind of relationships we have formed.
Looking to some of the world’s greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders, Brooks explores how, through internal struggle and a sense of their own limitations, they have built a strong inner character. Labor activist Frances Perkins understood the need to suppress parts of herself so that she could be an instrument in a larger cause. Dwight Eisenhower organized his life not around impulsive self-expression but considered self-restraint. Dorothy Day, a devout Catholic convert and champion of the poor, learned as a young woman the vocabulary of simplicity and surrender. Civil rights pioneers A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin learned reticence and the logic of self-discipline, the need to distrust oneself even while waging a noble crusade.
Blending psychology, politics, spirituality, and confessional, The Road to Character provides an opportunity for us to rethink our priorities, and strive to build rich inner lives marked by humility and moral depth.
“Joy,” David Brooks writes, “is a byproduct experienced by people who are aiming for something else. But it comes.”

评分没钱谈啥Adam Ⅱ啊
评分比起他的那本social animal,这本比较粗糙,重点也不突出。主题挺好的,但是写得有点乱。
评分每个历史人物的故事自成章节 可以一看
评分It's not so important to be that good. Decisions always confront with struggling. Can my Adam II choose instead of my Adam I? Not for me right now. It would lead me to disaster since I'm so self-conflicted. Anyway, does help.
