In The Second Mountain, David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. In The Second Mountain, Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity of dependence. 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, this book is meant to help us all lead more meaningful lives. But it’s also a provocative social commentary. We live in a society, Brooks argues, that celebrates freedom, that tells us to be true to ourselves, at the expense of surrendering to a cause, rooting ourselves in a neighborhood, binding ourselves to others by social solidarity and love. We have taken individualism to the extreme—and in the process we have torn the social fabric in a thousand different ways. The path to repair is through making deeper commitments. In The Second Mountain, Brooks shows what can happen when we put commitment-making at the center of our lives.

作为共和党作家，David Brook的写作完全没有侵略性，相反却带有里根时代共和党知识分子的特殊年代气质与温度。本书延续了Brook一贯专注的自省与对人生鞭辟入里的探究。他与读者探讨人在社会生活里的道德价值，个体生活的意义，以及卓越性（transcendence）。直接引用如此之多，以至于每隔数个段落，读者都有可能遇见Kierkegaard，托尔斯泰，Carl Jung或者Victor Frankel的精彩洞见。
评分人生要爬两座山，第一座山是关于自我的，你希望自己越来越成功、越来越厉害；第二座山却是关于别人的，是关于“失去自我”的，你为了别人或者为了某个使命，而宁可失去自我。
评分处在中年，正是要翻这第二座大山。
评分Found it literally on the street...too much of a best-selling kind of self-help book for a self-help book
