Summary

In this first episode of the new season of Signposts, I am joined by David Brooks, who, among countless other things, is an Op-Ed columnist at the New York Times. An incisive thinker and cultural observer, David is someone I have respected and admired for a long time now, and I was thrilled that he could join me for this conversation. In this episode, we begin our discussion by talking about his latest book, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, which I would certainly encourage you to read. (Bonus: You can check out the video version of this episode on YouTube.) I really enjoyed this conversation and hope it is both entertaining and beneficial for you. Be sure to subscribe to Signposts to get new episodes as they are released. I look forward to sharing the next episode with you on Wednesday, June 19.
