The Conservative Heart

In 'The Conservative Heart,' Arthur C. Brooks argues for a new kind of conservatism that is inclusive, optimistic, and focused on helping people lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

He proposes practical policies grounded in the four 'institutions of meaning'—family, faith, community, and meaningful work.

Brooks distinguishes his vision from previous conservative approaches, emphasizing a government safety net that lifts people up and promotes earned success rather than dependency.

The book is clear, well-reasoned, and accessible, offering a fresh strategy for conservatives and independent citizens alike.
