I love this David Brooks column about the power in being yourself


David Brooks waxes poetically about Bruce Springsteen and his lessons in authenticity for politicians and other leaders:

The whole experience makes me want to pull aside politicians and business leaders and maybe everyone else and offer some pious advice: Don’t try to be everyman. Don’t pretend you’re a member of every community you visit. Don’t try to be citizens of some artificial globalized community. Go deeper into your own tradition. Call more upon the geography of your own past. Be distinct and credible. People will come. - David Brooks
