520    "Everybody tells you to live for a cause larger than 
       yourself, but how exactly do you do it? The bestselling 
       author of The Road to Character explores what it takes to 
       lead a meaningful life in a self-centered world." -- From 
       Amazon.com summary. 
520    In this book, David Brooks explores the four commitments 
       that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and
       family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a 
       community.  Our personal fulfillment depends on how well 
       we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a
       range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, 
       and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of 
       dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a 
       partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a 
       philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our 
       commitments into one overriding purpose.
