“I became aware of Arthur Brooks when he spoke at our daughters graduation ceremony from The Catholic University of America. From the moment Mr. Brooks took the microphone I was enthralled with the perspective of happiness as well as its pursuit he was pitching.
This led me to purchase Love...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast for its mix of spiritual and political themes. I am so glad to find someone who threads through between the two sides of our political system. Arthur says he isn’t political but I don’t agree, what he is is non-partisan and the politics he references has to do with our ethical...”Read full review »

“What a great service to augment my busy schedule and to help me grow as I go about my day. I have now traded the mindless drudgery of driving to and from the office for a great, informative experience about love, people, and how best to combat the "outrage industrial complex". Thank you...”Read full review »

““Why Giving Matters” gave logic to the Biblical admonishment to care for the poor and needy. “Love Your Enemies” goes further by demonstrating strength comes from virtue. Perhaps we can create a more peaceful world based on the principles in your book.”

At that time democracy versus communism. I have consistently wanted peace in my life and in the world. Through his work I...”Read full review »

“Great I/V with John Gottman. It took significant emotional/professional events for me to understand what you said.
