i've been fascinated by Brooks' columns on sociology. i think that has naturally liberalized him . . . to an extent. in any event, i love his willingness to learn and how willingly he shares what he's learned. He's a fascinating guy.

One of my new favorite writers/thinkers.

Love from INDIA, Follow your passion = how can one follow what hasn't been formed yet ! This is genius

If David Brooks sees this, thank you! The power of this cultural narrative is incredible, and the 4 part answer of commitment is spectacular.

What a wonderful thought provoking speech. Thank you.

Thank you David, your talk was wonderful!

Addictions of all kinds (I became a workaholic at 7) are coping mechanisms for dealing with emotional pain that is too difficult to live with. Learning to feel all of my emotions has helped me to become whole again! Climbing the second mountain is now so much richer and satisfying than the first! It makes aging worth it! Thanks Mr Books!

Thanks for sharing

Honey is funny on top of being smart or I like that he’s so so comical and his delivery up as presentation fabulous :-)

A very good speech.

Serpensliber, this man is so like you, it scares me~! This mind is so like yours~! I hope you enjoy "meeting yourself~again", serious doppelganger moment

Very good!!!!!

I was skeptical half a third of the way through this but managed to stick with it to the end. David Brooks acknowledges that most radical change comes as the result of war, i.e. conflict, cataclysm, collapse, but does point out that peaceful change can happen. I doubt the people who are pulling all the strings and hoarding all the assets are going to willingly give it up for a "feel good" moment when the first thing that happens when someone comes into money is not to see how they can benefit others, but benefit themselves and their "tribe."

Are you saying you need to be more engaged in things?

Thank you for the insights, esp. the rel. Individualism to tribalism. Would like more on institutional weakness, ie. Religion (Catholic, evangelical internal scandals; law, unequal justice) etc. Their contribution to our Cultural crisis.

The hate in these comments is bizarre. The guy is talking about love and connection and people are relating him to a serpent and liar. Is it because he doesn’t like trump? Someone can not like trump and still make a coherent point about individual isolation and the need for community.

Perhaps they're so guarded and armed that the mention of love embarrasses them because they didn't get love growing up so they can't give it or let it in now. I wonder if there is any hope for them. I hope so because humans get sick and die without love but before that the life they lead is a living hell--for them and everyone around them..

And of course economic circumstance has nothing to do with anything. Surely, being able to see a doctor when in need or the ability to afford basic education has no impact on happiness at all.

A David Brooks you can get close to..🤗🤭🤫

How will this country turn around if we only evaluate everything's value exclusively in relation to its economic utility?

Every time I see David Brooks now I remember him going on and on about “both sides do it” during the entire Obama presidency. I have hard time listening to anything he had to say these days. If he did not see what was brewing inside of the GOP then, I can not take him seriously now. Have a nice day.

I wonder if Brooks gets a thrill up his leg every time he bloviates before a crowd.

I disagree with his idea that first you do the first mountain of personal achievement only to do charity when that is secure. That is the premise of capitalism and it is the premise of Pelagianism. Christ said it differently: seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all the rest shall be added unto you.

What are you talking about. Or are you just whining

Brooks needs to keep searching because all I see and read is an apologist for failed conservative ‘values’.
