    Introducing Social Skills as the Road to Character from The Art of Manliness.
    Follow the show: The Art of Manliness
    If you've wanted to develop your character, you've probably thought about strengthening virtues like courage, humility, and resolution. But my guest would say that practicing social skills is another way of increasing your moral strength, and the moral strength of society as a whole.
    David Brooks is the author of numerous books, including his latest, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. Today on the show, David discusses why our culture lost an emphasis on moral formation, and why this loss has led to alienation and anomie. We then talk about the role each of us can play in repairing this fabric by developing concrete social skills, avenues to improve character that, unlike some virtues that are only called upon in a crisis, you can practice every day. David shares insights on how we can get better at giving people attention, asking good questions, and helping those who are going through a hard time. We also discuss how understanding different personality types and life stages can allow us to better understand other people.

2 of the all time greats

I love this pod. It’s a great look behind the curtain of something that has meant so much to me in my life. So proud of your come back Snake. I love redemption stories. DDP one of the greatest to ever enter the ring. It makes sense that Jake was your mentor. Looking forward to great things.
