Bobos In Paradise

The New Upper Class and How They Got There

David Brooks

Explore the world of Bobos: a new social class that blends capitalist enterprise with bohemian counterculture. In this witty and insightful book, David Brooks examines the cultural consequences of this hybrid lifestyle and defines a new generation. Are you a Bobo? Find out if you identify with those who value a slate shower stall over a media center or work at a software company where hiking boots and glacier glasses are the norm.

The definitive book on class in America circa the onset of the 21st century by @nytdavidbrooks -- the managerial elite as "bourgeois bohemians" or bobos --      source

@singareddynm Great book, one of my favorites The almost nearly perfect people (On the culture & economics of the 5 Nordic countries — a lot of insights on healthcare) The Senses: design beyond vision Bobos in Paradise (bourgeois bohemians — a lot on travel, experiences & spirituality)      source
