• 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
