Praise for the works of David Brooks
The Second Mountain
“Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily
incisive.”—The Washington Post
The Road to Character

way—is for making obscure but potent social studies research
accessible and even startling.”—The New York Times Book Review
“A powerful, haunting book that works its way beneath your
skin.”—The Guardian
“Original and eye-opening . . . Brooks is a
normative version of Malcolm Gladwell, culling from a wide array of
scientists and thinkers to weave an idea bigger than the sum of its
parts.”—USA Today
The Social Animal
“Provocative and fascinating . . . seeks to do
nothing less than revolutionize our notions about how we function
and conduct our lives.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

the unseen aspects of private experience into a vigorous and
challenging conversation about what we all share.”—San Francisco
