Short Answer:
This is a Personal Column article because Brooks is sharing his insights on something he believes. He is using personal experiences and there's no quotes. David Brooks was making the argument that a person should live for a simpler life in order to live life fully rather than trying to do everything and have everything. Brooks proved his point by agreeing with April Lawson when she says "...many of us are on a wireless hamster wheel, running furiously to keep the inbox in the same place." He also argues that "The things they call good, like riches, are really bad." I think that the article was termed 'From the Right' because the left-side story is the other argument against Brooks' points. The left-side article is supporting politics, while Brooks' story is arguing a more natural life without complexity. This could also be termed 'From the Right' because this is the 'right' side of the story, it is the better half of the story. Brooks didn't really convince me of his point. I already agreed with some things he said, but the other points he made didn't affect me. He was more telling the reader (myself) of the things he believed, and didn't try to convince me of pursuing a better life.
