- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Arthur Brooks's "The Conservative Heart." We're now in the season for books about the future of conservatism. How did it get from William F. Buckley Jr. to Donald Trump? And what are the ideas that would rescue it? Well, my candidate for the most interesting rethinking of conservatism would be this very well-written book that is full of intelligence but also empathy. It's about the head but also, as the title says, the heart.”
