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.

What does it mean to look beyond yourself 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 value intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom?

His bestseller The Social Animal employed cutting edge social science to demolish conventional definitions of success, instead celebrating a culture of trust and humility. He joins how to: Academy to help us walk a new road to joy and fulfilment by nourishing deep commitments – to family, to our vocation, to a philosophy and to our community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover why we were really put on this earth, guided by one of the wisest and most gifted thinkers of our age.
