David Brooks seems an unlikely hero. I first heard his work on PBS, and was impressed with his nuanced insights and humble delivery. He always seems nervous until the better ideas begin to emerge, and his sincerity emerges right along with them.
Still one of my favorite people on earth whether speaking like this or interpreting politics on PBS with a decency, clarity and kindness that kept me sane for now 4+ years. Bravo, David. A man after God's own heart. Well done ♥️🙏
David Brooks raises our conscience thinking..a passion to “get outside ourselves” ..commitment means we are “present” in every moment ..listen but hear..watch but see..
Grateful for the opportunity to listen and grasp some deep meaningful truths that were expressed by the author., and were hidden deep inside of my own consciousness … Will listen again and again to fully get it to my core being
Great arguments for making commitments. "Am I really serving my highest good? ..adopt a different lens ...beyond utilitarian thinking..the distant side of unselfishness not on this side.. what is life asking of me?"
Mr. Brooks describes the human heart and is so close, comes so close to the answer he seeks. CS Lewis describes this as a God shaped hole and thus, only God will fill it. Check out Tim Keller (cited by Mr Brooks) and Gospel in Life for a wealth of resources on life’s most vital questions.
Hi, You need to make your book an audio book read by you, David. I didn't know that much about you before this early morning, but I'm glad I came across your videos, this is the second one in a row that I watched this morning. Thank you, and God bless.
...to our spouse (yes I promise to never fuck another) or family (yes I will do for you what you dont do for me - accept me as I am), our vocation (As if companies value loyalty), our community (couldnt care really) and our faith (no faith, only hopelessness).
I wish more republicans were like this guy. Seems like a "republican" I'd like to be around. I call myself a Democrat ... but I'm also an Atheist ... So, I'm more of a third party or maybe a independent. I've watched the Brooks and Capehart show on PBS for awhile, and often wondered how a republican can continue to talk on a Leftist new channel ... Maybe over time, the bias of speaking on democrat dominate news station may persuade a republican to bend left?
Or vise versa. Being well and the demand for common sense goes beyond parties, politics and even religion in general. Learning more about this is truly a blessing. David has organized these thoughts and has consolidated if you will these ideas. Love your comment by the way and a toast to you for sharing, thank you
I personally appreciate the neutral tone and lack passionate conviction! Otherwise , his personal bias will show and invite criticism and dilute the message..
For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. Maybe you have collected to give out for someone else to receive. Keep on the lookout. It's not always about our own mission, but it's always about our mission!
How WRONG this glib man is about narcissism. . He makes the huge error of mistaking vanity, and exaggerated self worth for narcissism. Two hugely different things. Narcissism is a personality disorder, whereby the person lacks empathy, lies at the flick of a coin, and is destructive and malevolent...etc.

David Brooks is opening up his figurative heart wide which is wonderful setting an example that is worth imitating.
Ive been to one of his speeches in vancouver and he was so kind and eager to answer all the questions on and off the floor. A great man he is
He has developed a reputation that would make any family proud. His humility is striking
wonderful speech,, beautiful and really inspiring. awesome.
“Am I really serving my highest self?” best question I have heard...”adopt a moral lens” ..the truth lies right there!
I place piles on the carpet too, or on the bed, as I'm organizing my book. Loved hearing that, a kindred spirit.

This is excellent, so inspiring. I find the language and context of my difficulties in this wonderful talk. Thank you so much.

Mr Brooks and Father Spitzer should appear together as he wondrously weaves and completes Spitzer's Four Levels of Happiness.

He has told these jokes consistently for 7 years at least. Talk about a reliable guy!!
Loved it!❤
Now that we know how corrupt the Biden family is would you end your great speech with that ending?
Thank you so much For this truly inspiring
Great❤thanks ♥ God bless you ❤ 🙏
Thanks for sharing

I thought of VP the same
Very modest & kind & understanding
But now very disappointed
...to our spouse (yes I promise to never fuck another) or family (yes I will do for you what you dont do for me - accept me as I am), our vocation (As if companies value loyalty), our community (couldnt care really) and our faith (no faith, only hopelessness).
❤
His view of then VP Biden shock me.
wow.

Trying to develop your soul? Don’t waste your time
Good points, for sure….lost me, though when he described what a great guy Joe Biden is…sure snowed Brooks
This man speaks a lot of genius content but lacks that attention grabbing conviction and tone ,may be I would read his thoughts and listen less
