The Relationalist Worldview
In contrast to hyper-individualism, Brooks advocates for a relationalist worldview, which places relationships, commitment, and the desires of the heart and soul at the center of life. This perspective sees society as a web of connections and emphasizes the importance of making and keeping commitments to others. 'Life is not a solitary journey. It is building a home together,' Brooks asserts. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and purpose, creating a more connected and compassionate society.
