David Brooks emphasizes the importance of making others feel seen, valued, and understood, highlighting how many people today feel invisible and misunderstood.

Novinár David Brooks vo svojej knihe Druhá hora píše, že ak je prvá hora o ­budovaní ega a­ definovaní vlastnej identity, tá druhá je o ­vzdávaní sa vlastného ja. Na prvej hore musíte byť ambiciózni, strategickí a nezávislí. Na druhej hore budujete hlboké vzťahy a ­robíte dlhodobé záväzky dôvery a vytrvalosti. Ak je prvá hora o získavaní, druhá hora je o prispievaní. Druhá hora nie je opakom tej prvej. Vyjsť na druhú horu neznamená odmietnuť prvú horu. Je to nová cesta – zmysluplnejšia fáza života. Na druhú horu sa lezie úplne inak, ako na tú prvú. Prvú horu dobývate. Identifikujete vrchol, určíte smer a škriabete sa nahor. Ale vaša druhá hora dobýva vás. Podľahnete volaniu niečoho ci Niekoho iného…

"'We need to organise politically to defend the weak, empower the many and prepare the ground for reversing the absurdities of capitalism.' - Yanis Varoufakis. 'Capitalism over the past twenty-five years has been an incredible moral good.' - David Brooks. The Munk debate on capitalism: There is a growing belief that the capitalist system no longer works. Inequality is rampant. The environment is being destroyed for profits. In some western nations, life expectancy is even falling. Political power is wielded by wealthy elites and big business, not the people. But for proponents of capitalism, it is the engine of progress, not just making all of us materially better off, but helping to address everything from women's rights to political freedoms. We seem to stand at a crossroads: do we need to fix the system as a matter of urgency, or would it be better to hold our nerve?'"-- Provided by publisher

Are you on your first or second mountain? Is life about yourself or others? Are you self-improving or committed? Mainstream culture teaches us that human beings pursue our self-interest - money, power, fame. But at some point in our life we might discover that we're not interested in what other people tell us to want. We want to want the things that are truly worthy of wanting. At this point, you have moved to your second mountain. What does it mean to elevate your desires, to look beyond consumption and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to want intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us, and the four commitments that most commonly move us there- family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring, personal and full of joy, this is the start of a deeper journey into the world.
