The Second Mountain by David Brooks is a self-help book that explores the meaning of life through the metaphor of two mountains with a valley in between. The first mountain represents success, ambition, and personal achievement, yet often leaves one feeling unfulfilled in the valley. The second mountain embodies a more meaningful life built on four key commitments—Vocation, Marriage, Faith, and Community—shifting from hyper-individualism to a life of deeper connection to others.
