Episode 02 - Authenticity - The Courage To Be Yourself

Episode 01 - The Two Halves of Life
In this week's episode we are inspired by and go deep in discussing the ideas from the book The Second Mountain by David Brooks. It’s all about the concept that there are two halves of life. Brooks says, “Their goals on the 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 isn'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.” Topics discussed: 3:00 - The two halves of life 4:00 - Happiness vs. joy 5:00 - Gratitude 7:00 - Practicing gratitude with kids 9:00 - Living a committed life 11:00 - Discipline 15:00 - Answering the call - Purpose 17:00 - Surround yourself with good people 19:00 - “you're at the right place at the right time.” If you enjoyed our podcast please share, subscribe and leave a review!
