Many high-achieving people enjoy good meals with friends, hit their career goals, and yet still feel like they’re living a gray, hollow version of life. 

@arthurbrooks’s new #1 New York Times best-seller asks why. Read @Prof_Kaczor’s review here: https://t.co/gTz8de6jcE

@arthurbrooks Two of our favorites. My wife, grown kids, and I are all watching this and discussing and going to read the Ascension version of the encyclical with your preface.

A very fascinating piece from @arthurbrooks on the correlation between English-speaking countries and social media use compared to the rest of the world. Spoiler alert: Americans' use of social media is deleterious because we rely on it more typically to displace in-person connections instead of using it to supplement real-world relationships (and, of course, the irony of me posting this from a social media account). Much to chew on here for those concerned about the common good. https://t.co/Q9rnkFybLS

Book #17 2026

.@arthurbrooks has written a deeply insightful book especially for strivers to find real meaning in life in faith, love, real experience, and relationships rather than phones, social media, radical autonomy, and work/achievement. Cannot recommend enough.

5/5⭐️

[Michael R. Strain @MichaelRStrain]

Congratulations @arthurbrooks on your #1 New York Times bestseller! I just spotted it in the wild.

[Daniel Prol @DannyProl]

I know, I know I keep bringing up Arthur Brooks, but with his new book that dropped at the end of March, he’s everywhere right now, and it’s genuinely great stuff. I really loved his thoughts about how to build meaning into everyday life. https://t.co/gW2mmiBFLG

Just finished @arthurbrooks new book “The Meaning of Your Life.” Great read and cause for a lot of introspection. I would highly recommend, especially in today’s politics climate.

[Rachel @dorayemi]

@ctjensen @arthurbrooks Thanks, Chris! Glad you liked it. Hope all is well.

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

The Catholic Church is seeing a rise in new converts.

@arthurbrooks, who has attended mass daily for the last 10 years, shares why he believes there will be “a real surge in religious activity in the next 10 years.”

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

“In solving the boredom problem, we wiped out meaning”: Technology has prompted a “meaning crisis,” CBS News contributor and @thefp columnist @arthurbrooks says.

Brooks shares how his new book, “The Meaning of Your Life,” lays out a plan for finding purpose, coherence and significance.

Loved this from @arthurbrooks The key to happiness won’t ever be self-fulfillment. To find your life you have to lose it. https://t.co/W1SejnvYpO

[Rocco Rossi @roccorossiTO]

Loved @arthurbrooks “From strength to strength” and looking forward to this one.

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.

Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.

The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.

He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:
