As a columnist, author and political pundit, David Brooks has made an impressive career out of influencing others. David has come to realize, however, that power and influence are far from the only factors that make up a good life.

"I've achieved way more in my career than I've ever—I ever thought I would," David says in his Super Soul Sunday interview. But when he sees other people radiating with gratitude and inner light, he knows there's something else he'd still like to achieve.

Find out how this epiphany shaped David's new book, The Road to Character.
