Opis

The No. 1 New York Times bestseller on the secret to leading a good life. We live in a Big Me culture: universities and businesses alike reward goal-oriented superstars and those who self-promote are most likely to thrive. Our hunger for wealth and status is eroding our ability to create meaningful inner lives. In order to fulfil yourself, you must learn how to forget yourself.

Recenzje

The Road to Character feels particularly pertinent to some immediate issues right now: the level of public cynicism about politicians and "experts", witnessed in the catastrophic EU referendum, or the bland managerialism that is replacing discussion about the core values of our educational system Rowan Williams New Statesman
