Get the Summary of David Brooks's The Second Mountain in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *As you read this summary, you will learn how to adopt an ethic of life where sharing and altruism take precedence over your personal desires. *You will also learn : that you live in a society where each individual is more self-centred; that your personal success is not synonymous with fulfilment; that you will go through a crisis in your life that will move you from one ideal to another; that love and sharing are the secret of a selfless life; that your commitments to others will transcend you. *Having climbed the mountain of professional ambition and independence, you thought you had reached the final goal of your life: personal success. It was without counting on the existence of a second mountain to climb. This one represents spirituality and love of others. This second mountain will lead you to deep commitments that will make you know the true joys of existence. Embark on this moral quest that will give you the feeling of a fulfilled life
