The University of Montana hosts David Brooks at the Wilma for UM’s President’s Lecture Series, September 10, 2018 at 7:30 p.m.";s:

New York Times columnist, author and public broadcasting commentator David Brooks is in Missoula to kick off the University of Montana's President's Lecture series. The conservative pundit spoke about Donald Trump and humility with Sally Mauk before the lecture.

"To me, humility is not thinking lowly of yourself," Brooks says. "My favorite definition is, 'it's radical self-awareness from a position of other-centeredness."

David Brooks will speak at the Wilma Theater in Missoula at 7:30 p.m., September 10. His lecture is titled "The Cultural Revolution We Need."

From UM: "Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times, an Executive Director at the Aspen Institute and a commentator on “The PBS Newshour,” NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He is the author of “Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There” and “The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement.” His fourth and most recent book, “The Road to Character,” was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Brooks also teaches at Yale University, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences."

Retired in 2014 but still a presence at MTPR, Sally Mauk is a University of Kansas graduate and former wilderness ranger who has reported on everything from the Legislature to forest fires.
