I’ve been reading a book lately that seems to pull my thoughts away whenever I have a free moment. It’s called “The Road to Character” by David Brooks. In the book, Brooks speaks to the crisis of having strong integrity and what is the difference between outward success which is fame, fortune, popularity, and visible success vs the inward success of being a good person, standing for something, and being unique: your own person.
Brooks goes in depth about how the outward success is how things are now. That’s what we focus on because it’s visible, tangible, and can be seen by others.
