Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley Presents: David Brooks, NY Times Columnist & Author of "The Social Animal" March 22, 2011

What if everything we know about what makes us human (how we make choices, create relationships, and achieve success) is wrong?
Op-ed columnist and political commentator, Brooks discusses the revolutionary discoveries made in neuroscience and cognition to show how life is dictated by our inner mind - imagination, emotion, and intuition. In order to form love, character, and achievement Brooks stresses relationships over individualism and moral connections over monetary need.
Brooks has written extensively on regional and intergenerational differences in America, America as a consumerist society, and foreign policy. He appears regularly on PBS’ News Hour with Jim Lehrer and on NPR’s All Things Considered.
