Episode 08: The Valley of Suffering

Hours worth of hiking and we reached the top of Mountain #1.

Little did my sister know at the time that we would be climbing two mountains that day. So, we hiked down and made our way through a small Valley to immediately start our adventure up Mountain #2.

I haven't been able to put down 🏔The Second Mountain🏔 written by David Brooks.

Not only does it provide massive clarity about humans and the different adventures our lives take us on, it also discusses what type of society and culture we've created.

Here are the topics I discuss:

✨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
