Covid – 19 has produced a shift no one has seen before. For many, this pandemic has rebalanced the scales from ‘resume virtues’ – external success, back to ‘eulogy virtues’ – internal gratitude… A reshaping for all to draw back to things most important; altruism, selflessness, bravery, courage, empathy… The Road to Character illustrates the invisible fight between the two roads. Instead of a step-by-step manuscript, author David Brooks scribes the stories of individuals who made the shift, personifying the core moralities one should aim to achieve.
