Are you ready to tackle "The Second Mountain"?
GROBET Arnaud
In the same spirit ...

In this great book, New York Times columnist David Brooks describes that: 

"The world tells us that we should pursue our self-interest:

  • career wins
  • high status
  • nice things

These are the goals of our first mountain. 

But at some point in our lives we might find that we’re not interested in what other people tell us to want. 

We want the things that are truly worth wanting. 

This is the second mountain”

This is exactly where chapter beyond begins: for those who have climbed the mountain of success and now feel called to a deeper one — meaning, connection, contribution, passions, and a life more fully shared.

Because the next chapter is not about achieving more, but about living what truly matters.

begin your life, again
