David Brooks, New York Times columnist, Atlantic writer, and bestselling author of The Second Mountain and How to Know a Person, joins Scott Galloway to examine the forces reshaping American life – from declining trust in government and media to economic uncertainty, extremism, and the crisis facing young men. They discuss why prosperity hasn’t translated into happiness, how culture and incentives shape behavior, and why love, commitment, and service may matter more than money in holding society together. Algebra of happiness: Scott's holiday wish for you all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
