Writers On A New England Stage: David Brooks On Finding Character

On today’s show, a special presentation of Writers on a New England Stage with David Brooks, recorded live at The Music Hall in Portsmouth. The New York Times columnist, author, and commentator known as the “liberal’s favorite conservative”, Brooks climbed the ladder of America’s media elite by sparring with civility against left-leaning pundits on TV and NPR.

Then, at the top of his game, David Brooks realized he’d compromised his soul.  We’ll talk about his new book, The Road to Characterprofiles of people whose humility and willingness to confront their own limitations led them to a higher purpose.
