David Brooks on the Road to Character
b"On May 26th 2015, New York Times columnist David Brooks came to the Intelligence Squared stage to share the insights of his latest book, 'The Road to Character'. Brooks argued that today\\u2019s \\u2018Big Me\\u2019 culture is making us increasingly self-preoccupied: we live in a world where we\\u2019re taught to be assertive, to master skills, to broadcast our brand, to get likes, to get followers. But amidst all the noise of self-promotion, Brooks claimed that we\\u2019ve lost sight of an important and counterintuitive truth: that in order to fulfil ourselves we need to learn how to forget ourselves.\\n\\nBrooks was joined on stage by writer and lecturer on psychology, politics, and the arts Andrew Solomon.
