Includes List of Other Books by David Brooks; Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes; Index and About the Author. "An inspiring, thought-provoking exploration of what it means to live a meaningful life, from the #1 New York Times bestselling aouthor of The Road to Character. Every so often, you meet people who radiate joy - who seem to know why they were put on this earth, who glow with a kind of inner light. Life, for these people, has often followed what we might think of as a two-mountain shape. They get out of school, they start a career, and they begin climbing the mountain they thought they were meant to climb. Their goals on this first mountain are the ones our culture endorses: to be a success, to make your mark, to experience personal happiness. But when they get to the top of that mountain, something happens. They look around and find the view.unsatisfying. They realize: This wasn't my mountain after all. There's another, bigger mountain out there that is actually my mountain. And so they embark on a new journey. On the second mountain, life moves from self-centered to other-centered. They want the things that are truly worth wanting, not the things other people tell them to want. They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They surrender to a life of commitment. 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. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty 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." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "David Brooks' gift -- as he might put it in his swift, engaging way - is for making obscure but potent social studies research accessible and even startling." - The New York Times Book Review. "At his best, Brooks is a normative version of Malcolm Gladwell, culling from a wide array of scientists and thinkers to weave an idea bigger than the sum of its parts." - USA Today. "Brooks' considerable achievement comes in his ability to elevate the unseen aspects of private experience into a vigorous and challenging conversation about what we all share." - San Francisco Chronicle. "One of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time explores what it takes to lead a meaningful life in a self-centered world." - The Washington Post.

The four letters are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Each 1p., 12mo. The first three letters are written to Brooks, as editor of 'Truth'; the fourth is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. In the first letter (14 April 1945) he apologises for the delay in sending in a review: 'I have been two months out of the country and nothing could be forwarded.' He adds: 'I wish I saw more of Charles Webster. He is one of my very few surviving friends of Cambridge days.' The second letter (5 July 1945) begins: 'News has been so earthy of the earth lately that I think a good ghost story would thrill your readers'. He is enclosing 'a few lines of Introduction', and suggests that Brooks edits the story down. Postscript: 'Put his signature by all means.' The third letter (6 March 1948) congratulates Brooks on his book, and thanks him 'for Stefan Zweig which I will read & review next week'. The last (7 April 1959) is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. 'It recalls to me many visits to the offices of Turth. It was always a pride and a please to contribute to columns edited by Collin Brooks. Quid est veritas? will be his epitaph'. Accompanying the four letters is a Typed Letter Signed from Brooks to Leslie, 14 February 1945, on letterhead of "Truth" Buildings, Carteret Street, Quyeen Anne's Gate, London. (There is nothing to indicate that the letter is a copy.) He apologises for 'a breach of etiquette', sends a book to review ('To "Make the page" in any given week, reviews must reach me not later than the Monday this because we have now to print in the country.') He concludes with an enquiry after 'our common friend, C. K. Webster'.…
