Washington Post: <\/p>\n

New York Times columnist David Brooks weds his former researcher Anne Snyder<\/a><\/p>\n

Knot, tied: New York Times columnist David Brooks wed Anne Snyder, his former research assistant, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s relationship sort-of went public in an inauspicious way \u2014 Politico noted in a wink-wink 2015 piece<\/a> that the conservative columnist had devoted an outsized amount of verbiage in the acknowledgements of his book \u201cThe Road to Character\u201d to Snyder, who is 23 years his junior. But all\u2019s well that ends with bells, and Atlantic Media owner David Bradley and his wife, Katherine Bradley, threw a rehearsal luncheon for the couple on Saturday, we\u2019re told (that poolside tent saw a lot of activity this weekend), followed by a Sunday ceremony.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first marriage for Snyder, 32, now a freelance writer and director of a Houston, Tex., non-profit initiative<\/a>. Brooks, 55, acknowledged his split<\/a> from first wife, Sarah Brooks, in early 2015. They have three children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though David may now be a Christian, I am glad to see he hasn’t lost his chutzpah. <\/p>\n

The Hyde Park Institute presents<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Speaking of Character (with Anne Snyder, David Brooks, and Candace Vogler)<\/p>\n

Program Description:<\/p>\n

Many different cultures treat developing good character as one of the central challenges in human life. Your character draws together strengths that help you to pursue and promote good reasonably, avoid bad responsibly, and participate in the collective movements toward common good that shape the social world in which you find yourself. Good character is, as one says, a proof against rewards\u2013a good person does not, for instance, betray her friends or her firm for the sake of personal advantage. Good character is supposed to help people set their priorities, to think well about good courses of action they might pursue here and now, experience sorrow over genuine losses, joy over real triumphs, and more generally to live wisely and well.
\n With background reading by two philosophers, we will gather to think and talk about character in a one-day seminar. Questions that will orient our discussion include:<\/p>\n

How has your own character been shaped?
\nIn what ways do you expect that support for character development might be hard to come by in the next decade?
\nWhat rhythms, practices, or institutions might you engage and rely upon to help you move forward on a path to strong character?
\nDavid Brooks, Anne Snyder, and Candace Vogler hope that you will join a conversation about character.<\/p>\n
