In The Second Mountain, David Brooks, bestselling author and columnist for The New York Times, looks at people—from Dostoyevsky to Holocaust survivor Etty Hillesum to African educational entrepreneur Fred Swaniker—to show us what happens when we put commitment-making at the center of life. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose. In short, Brooks’ most personal book yet is ultimately meant to help us all lead more meaningful lives.
