Show notes
Let me answer some questions you might have before listening, here in the show notes.
Why Listen?
You will gain an understanding of what David Brooks calls "The Valley" and what it means to be on the "Second Mountain" of life. I've taken these insights and applied them to my own life, in hopes that you are able to do the same. You can purchase his book, here.
Topics Covered?
- Understanding what "The Valley" is
- Identifying the process of realizing if you're in The Valley or not
- Discussing the purpose of life and the Telos Crisis
- The Valley on an Individual Level and on a Societal Level
- Four Social Crises: Loneliness, Distrust, Meaning, Tribalism
- Recognizing the good that comes out of The Valley
Any Actionable Takeaways?
Ted Hughes once said that we often find that the worst moments to undergo, are some of the best moments to remember. Keep in mind that if you're in the valley, or haven't experienced it yet, that it's happening for a reason - you're strong enough to handle it - and you'll grow in the process.
