The Second Mountain | Book Therapy with David Brooks by Corey Bennett Boardman
Chat with me 👋 calendly.com/c...
Hi, I'm Corey. I am a writer/actor/comedian based in Los Angeles. I have dealt with mental health issues since the fifth grade. Now I want to laugh with them. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. I'm not a doctor, but that’s exactly why my brother said I should talk about it.
This is a literal self help channel. For me, and hopefully for you. 🙌

Means a ton to me, Callum. Thank you! 🙌

[@coreybennettboardman]

@@James-ir4ob Thank you James. That means a lot to me!

[@owensheasby]

For sure. Would buy stocks/ crypto tokens of this channel if available

[@coreybennettboardman]

@@owensheasby Lol, that's an awesome way to put it! 🐕🚀🌑

[@owensheasby]

Still climbing mountain 1 😁 but I think you have some good examples for mountain 2. Helping people does giving purpose and feels good

[@coreybennettboardman]

Love it! I'm not sure humans would survive and thrive without the first mountain. It also seems, that at a certain point, they don't have to be two separate places.

[@JohnyRhys]

Nice. Whose are we ..? Love it. In fact, I appreciate the linking between shorts to long forms x

[@coreybennettboardman]

Yes, that's such a beautiful quote! And great! Love to hear that the linking has value! Thank you Johny. 🙌

[@joansolersucarrats8409]

Loved the video Corey! Do you think we can be fulfilled just by the mere act of climbing, even if we never get to the top of any mountain?

[@coreybennettboardman]

Hey there Joan! Great to see you here. Thank you very much for your time and the kind comment! 🙌 I definitely don't have a concrete answer to this, and like you, probably think about this a lot haha.... Because for me, this quickly tumbles to the bigger questions about existence and the paradoxical holding of a monkey body and a universe that can't be explained currently lol. I suppose your question brings me back to the Bhagavad Gita, to enjoy the labor AND to detach from the fruits from it? Because "Behind mountains are more mountains." - Haitian Proverb 🤷‍♂️

[@JaysonT1]

Mountains?...I'm afraid of heights

[@coreybennettboardman]

Haha, so am I!

[@themacocko6311]

Are you planning on doing more longer stuff again?

[@coreybennettboardman]

At some point, probably? 🤷‍♂ I'm experimenting with different lengths and content ideas right now, specifically shorter. It sounds like you want to see longer content? What length do you have in mind?
