Ep. 67_The Second Mountain_David Brooks


Listen Later

In today's episode, I explore my favorite insights from David Brooks great book - The Second Mountain.

The Second Mountain seeks to give a methodical framework for living a life committed to self-transcendence and self-improvement. In particular, Brooks contends that four key channels—vocation, marriage, philosophy (or faith), and community—should be used to access and effectively integrate this way of life.

I loved the book and faced a real challenge putting this note together, as I was tempted to capture almost every piece of wisdom he shared.  

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays and thanks so much for listening in 2022.
