The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life

We’re used to setting clear goals: build a house, start a family, earn a good reputation, become successful. We overcome obstacles, reach the summit… and suddenly we realize this victory doesn’t make us happy. The summit wasn’t ours. And then a crisis begins.

David Brooks, author of the world bestseller "The Road to Character," argues that to regain your footing and move to a completely new level, you need to look at the world differently. Use your own experience to understand what you truly need. See the second peak. It is not the opposite of the first. Climbing it doesn’t mean rejecting your previous success. It’s simply a new journey that brings true happiness.
