NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SOCIAL ANIMAL
Are you at your first or second peak? Is life about you or others? About success or something deeper? The world tells us we must seek our own advantage: career victories, high status, nice things. These are the goals of the first peak. But at some point in our lives, we may find that we do not care about what others tell us to want. We want things that are truly worthy of desire.
This is the second peak. What does it mean to look beyond ourselves and find a moral purpose? To forget independence and discover dependence - to be fully embedded in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, commitment, responsibility, and dedication over individual freedom? In the book "The Second Peak," David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities offered by climbing a second peak and the four commitments that move us there: family, professional mission, philosophy, and community. Inspiring, personal, and full of joy, this book will help you discover why you were truly meant to be in this life.
