The Second Mountain
The Quest for a Moral Life
David Brooks
This book explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. The author gathers wisdom on how to choose a partner, a vocation, and how to live out a philosophy. He argues that we need to make deeper commitments in order to repair the social fabric of our society. This book is a thought-provoking social commentary meant to help us all lead more meaningful lives.
