The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life
by David Brooks
This book is talking about how 21 century's kind of living which is hyper-individualistic is leading us to a bad path and as a society and community, we have to think beyond ourselves and live rationally.
“The first mountain is the individualistic worldview which puts the desire of the ego at the center, the second mountain what you might call the rationalistic world view which put commitment, deep relationships and the desire of the soul and heart at the center”
It has made me think about how as a person we all want to feel belonging and purpose in life. And that is achieved by being committed to something bigger than ourselves like a vocation, marriage, etc. It is a very good read I highly recommend it!
