Brooks Bothers.Title: “The Road to Character”

Author: David Brooks

Rank: 1

Blurb: “Looking to some of the world’s greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders, Brooks explores how, through internal struggle and a sense of their own limitations, they have built a strong inner character… Dwight Eisenhower organized his life not around impulsive self-expression but considered self-restraint.”

Review: “Any time you extrapolate from specific examples to the general, you’re on dangerous ground.”

Hillbot 3000’s potential presidential challenger may have my vote–dayum! Total PCILF.

@¡Andrew!: Not that there’s much competition, but he’s totally my GILF.
