The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life Book by David Brooks

The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, David Brooks argues that fulfillment and joy come from a life of deep commitment to others rather than from the individualistic pursuit of happiness. He expands on the themes from his previous book, The Road to Character, which contrasted "résumé virtues" (worldly success) with "eulogy virtues" (a focus on morality).
