# [Article of Interest - "The Moral Bucket List" by David Brooks](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/articles/article-of-interest-the-moral-bucket-list-by-david-brooks)

Editor's Note: *I think of David Brooks as a poor man's St. Augustine and I think of myself as a poor man's David Brooks. I find him insightful, delightful and motivating to read and I do so as often as possible. Here Mr. Brooks follows one of my favorite themes, the constant struggle between our mercenary and our better self. Enjoy. Please also note this essay is derived from my choice for book of the month, his newest, "Road to Character."*
