The Road to Character by David Brooks

Author David Brooks introduces the concept of “résumé virtues” vs. “eulogy virtues” in his book The Road to Character.

Eulogy virtues exist at our core and define our character.

Whereas résumé virtues are more concerned with outwardly visible goals such as career success and status.

David goes on to give examples of great thinkers and leaders, as well as how they developed their personalities. Assisting us in reflecting on our journey and the role our character and eulogy virtues may play in the future.

My favourite quote from the book:

“We don’t become better because we acquire new information. We become better because we acquire better loves. We don’t become what we know. Education is a process of love formation. When you go to a school, it should offer you new things to love.”― 

David Brooks
