rebecca: you followed a path that many us -- many go after yale. you are able to have an impact here because you were working on sustainable investment. seth: it is a mutual fun that they screen out companies that they think have a negative impactct on society. and then they try to identifify entrepreneurs doing mission driven things, whether it is around health or environment for economicevelopment. that is what got me so excited. becca: whole foods had a big order. what is the secret sauce you sold to whole foods? seth: the first thing that happened is i went i -i looked at what you were offering and you have all these strings at 100 calories per eight ounce serving. there is this huge void. i know i am missing that drink in that drink in thehe 15 to 30 calorie range. i actually had -- this was the bottle i brought. it is an empty snapple bottle with labels on it. the buyer tasted the product, he understood the v void. whether or not there was a real opportunity there, only the consumers can tell. rebecca: you had a big order seth: -- big order.

and then they're each going to -- even going to take us to yale which may be the most exotic destination of all from my perspective. [laughter] and then they're also going to raise some important questions that hopefully, we'll get to explore a little bit. what are the real costs associated with climate change? if i pay $5 for this book and you later get a bill for $25 for the same book, what is the real inherent of that book? and those are the economic costs associated that he, mark shapiro covers in this particular book here. another question, when you pit the u.s. military against whales and dolphinnings in the ocean who's going to -- dolphins in the ocean, who's going to win that war? and in the case of josh horowitz's book who's going to speak out on behalf of those animals when you're pitted up against the u.s. military? each as fascinating because -- even as fascinating because i come from a state montana where we have built our sort of economic base in the turn of the century on underground mining, what happens when 33 miners get stuck underground for 69 days? what happens to the

my students who are wonderful kids at yale but -- you know it's so hard to get into yale and succeed. they've had to work hard on the achievement side but they really want to be good. one said to me, we're so hungry, we're so hungry. >> rose: to -- to achieve the feeling of goodness and in my course i basically taught that book. the nicest compliment i got was a great kid, he said, you know since i've taken this class, i'm a little sadder. >> rose: that's good. we should not always be sad but sometimes confronting your weakness which is the core here you have to be sad, overcome it and transcending feeling is when you overcome that. character has this image of rigid victorian, but you build character by loving by being dependent. >> rose: by being dependent. yeah, this is a thing i discovered since the book. i used to think character was an iron figure inside, like rigid self discipline, but then i realized none of us can defeat our own self deception and self-centeredness on our own, we all need help from outside. so when you say someone has character, what you really mean is they're

he also teaches a class at yale university. his new book explores some of the greatest leaders in history. the book is called "the road to character. to my parents, lois and michael looks. have they read it? david: they are my best and harshest critics. you had to steal yourself for them. they say, shorten this. charlie: in the end, the thesis -- david: the book starts out with a basic distinction. there are resume virtues. we bring those to the marketplace. are you a good teacher, lawyer. there are eulogy for choose to read where you passionate honest, courageous? capable of deep love? we all know eulogy virtues are more important. but the way we raise kids, it is for resume virtues. a lot of us including myself are clear on how to build a good career than character. this is a book to discover, how do we build the eulogy? the kind of eulogy we want to have? it is an exclamation of lives. people who did great things and were great internally. charlie: you came to this because it was about your life. tell me about that. david: i

our social security program is a bit like god, country, and yale. have to be for all of them -- well, perhaps not yale -- but you have the feeling that they all work in rather mysterious ways. the reason we're for social security is that it has, in fact, achieved its central purpose -- providing for the needs of the elderly. poverty among our senior citizens, a deep concern in the 1930s, has been substantially reduced in the present day. the reason social security seems mysterious is really twofold. first, the system doesn't work at all in the way we were taught to believe it would. the idea seemed to be that an average citizen -- let's call him peter -- would deposit his and his employer's payroll taxes in a fund which would keep growing over the years. at retirement, this same peter would use these accumulated funds to live on. in fact, the way it works is that young peter pays into a fund which is immediately used to pay already elderly paul. the notion of a huge accumulating trust is largely a myth. the program is, in fact, a classic case of wha

he was a thinker, but his experience at yale university was so terrible.was a time when he arrived there in 1921, jews were not very well accepted by the establishment. i found these letters from the dean and the provost -- charlie: at yale? annie: jews are coming here by the thousands and getting all the fellowships. we have to put a ban on the jewish element. rothko was raised as a scholar and was really disappointed by the fact that he was not fitting in. he understood it was a club of wasps, he said. it was for people good at sports, well raised, wellborn. he was an immigrant. he came to this country at the age of 10. he fought his way in. charlie: didn't you say the status of an artist would at least enable him to create a true identity for himself in the united states or gave him that? annie: i think he became an artist -- it was both an epiphany and a necessity. he found art by accident when he went with a friend and saw studios and found it very interesting. immediately, he started to understand that he would follow one of his professors. one was m

he dropped out of yale in his junior year. he had grown up on a farm near guilford, connecticut. it made him a bit unusual in the union army, he had grown up in an abolitionist family. he wrote to his brother during that first year of the war -- if i had money enough to raise a few hundred contraband meaning escaped slaves, and armed them, i would get up and insurrection among the slaves. i told the captain i would desert to do it." that is a bit of bravado, i expect. he did not lead any mutinies that we know of or organize a set of contraband's for insurrection. at the root -- the letters kept going. in 1861 and 1862 he starts denouncing lincoln and denouncing the administration. he's angry that the war is not officially a war to free the slaves. he does not get it. why are we not fighting to free the slaves? he writes home early in 1862. "this will settle the question as to whether the constitution or the rebellion shall triumph. the great heart wound, slavery will not be reached.
