PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book.
In The Second Mountain, political commentator and author David Brooks explains how individuals and societies can transition from selfish individualism to a focus on community. He believes that to achieve solidarity, wholeness and true happiness, we must shift our character from the hyper-individualistic first mountain to the more relational second mountain.

About the Original Book:
Have you ever wondered how some people are able to achieve joy while others struggle with misery throughout life? David Brooks attempts to explain how transitioning between the two mountains – selfish versus selfless – is the key to attaining the satisfaction that we all seek in life. Only those who choose to climb the second mountain are able to find true fulfillment.
