开头不错,有几章也好,比如讲乔治马歇尔的。但是有几章大谈宗教,拼命拔高。看不下去,弃之。
评分Blinkist扫过。因为没有细读,不能评判作者对个体主义发展的正反面的详细论证和看法如何。从文艺复兴前严苛宗教教条(即亚当II主宰),到启蒙时代和浪漫主义时的两者平衡,再到二战后到的及时行乐和个体主义(即亚当I主宰),反映在当下的自我意识过分强烈,过分以自我为中心,完全被自我欲望主导,从小生活在过于积极正面鼓励的环境里。二战里的集权主义、二战的残忍和20世纪物质文明的飞速发展,是不是强化了二战后的反思战争、及时行乐、不再迷信权威、鼓励多样化和差异性,最终体现在个体主义的(过分)盛行?价值观带来的效应总有正反两面,当下的我们哪怕在研究这样的问题时也下意识地套用cost&benefit的思路,只问how不问why,只问值得不值得是不是你想要的而不问为什么。然而人类最大的问题是不知道要什么。
评分One man’s word. Why is your moral better?
评分本身不是特别喜欢小故事鸡汤类的书,有点不感冒。

David Brooks is one of the nation’s leading writers and commentators. He is an op-ed columnist for The New York Time s and appears regularly on PBS NewsHour and Meet the Press. He is the bestselling author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement; Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There; and On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense.
“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.”
