Is life about you - or others?  About success - or something deeper?   The  world tells us that we should pursue our self-interest: career wins,  high status, nice things. These are the goals of our first mountain. But  at some point in our lives we might find that we're not interested in  what other people tell us to want. We want the things that are truly  worth wanting.  This is the second mountain.   What does it  mean to look beyond yourself and find a moral cause? To forget about  independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web  of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, devotion,  responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain  David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a  second mountain offer us and the four commitments that most commonly  move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring,  personal and full of joy, this book will help you discover why you were  really put on this earth.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673401024785,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780141990903.jpg?v=1781525331","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-second-mountain-by-david-brooks","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
