Talking Head
Brooks describes himself as being originally liberal before, "coming to my senses." Much of his work comments on the political and cultural environment in the United States. Brooks' bestseller, Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, which was published in 2000 by Simon and Shuster, examines and comments on the mores of middle-class and upper-middle-class America.
