Inspiration-David Brooks



content:

  • Emotions are not separat from reason but they are the foundation of reason because they tell us what to value. Reading and educating your emotions is one of the central activities of wisdom.
  • 90% of communication is non-verbal
  •  „We are really good at talking about material things, but we are really bad at talking about emotions, we’re really good at talking about skills, safety and health but we’re really bad at talking about character
  • „We have the concepts of the acient morals of virtue, honour and goodness but we no longer have a system by which to connect to them
  • this leads us onto a shallow path in politics but also to a range of human endavors.
