I honestly believe Alain de Botton is the MOST intelligent person currently living on the planet. His social and emotional intelligence is just incredible. He is a true role model.

Rossana Motta The sarcasm is strong with this one. B)

[@gethypnotherapy]

[@wambuikanina6529]

[@xw6475]

This is the most real talk I have ever watched or heard about relationships ever.

[@kosmic77universe90]

I think Alain is one of the most intelligent people I have ever come across!!! He is not just a clever man you can see that his intelligence & view of the world is brilliantly balanced and amazingly objective!!!!

[@zarifhossain9871]

Emotionally intelligent you meant, right?

[@JadenJahci]

Im more of a James Bond kind of guy,...but Alain knows how to spin it quite well indeed. Sincerely, Tim Currrrry kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnIm5yGf9WcZpI

Now that I've found you, Alain de Botton, I can't live without you. You help me to cope with the dark clouds of life. Thank you :)

[@gethypnotherapy]

Stunningly insightful, typical deBotton, so wise.

[@ramonaagachi]

Amazing interview! I would like to see more of them. Good advice for the people in the beginning of a relationship that is starting to go wrong. But there are also in my opinion relationships that can´t be saved anymore, when people forget the reasons they were mad at eachother, after years of going cold, it is better to pack that suitcase...

[@passionatebraziliangirl.4801]

Allain de Botton the philosopher of love. Merci beaucoup j'aime votre discoure.

[@ruspinos3890]

You are a wise man ! Hat's off :)

[@RustyShacklification]

i love listening to Alain give his thoughts on relationships and i really enjoyed this interview the angles and camera quality, but the "mm--mm...mm... yeah" started to get annoying and I couldn't focus on what Alain was saying.

[@rosajimenez7777]

I would love to meet this man.

Alain de Botton is the sexiest man alive. Nothing, absolutely nothing beats intelligence!

[@Jokostop]

big Alain fan

[@siobhanstrauss8492]

While the internet is off I’ll read one of his 📚

[@TheTarbita]

"mmm" "yeah " "yeah" hmm" "yeam" - Alain speaking precious insights and the interviewer so unaware...

[@SamuelLeightonDore]

He's my favourite author - I was starstruck. My problem was that I was *too* aware.

[@disbeafakename167]

@@SamuelLeightonDore you did well, probably best not to interrupt while he is answering your questions. You let him speak and got your answers while providing positive enforcement and actively listening. Good job overall.

Law of large numbers. The greater the number of choices the less the likelihood of any one of those choices being made.

[@MsHandbreak]

Background noise spoiled this. Is this an after lunch interview 2 yards from a busy kitchen?

[@taliatang236]

Is anyone else uncomfortable with how the interviewer is dreamily gazing at Alain... lol.

[@SamuelLeightonDore]

Sorry my happiness and admiration made you uncomfortable, Natalia!

[@mamgz5166]

@@SamuelLeightonDore its not only happiness and admiration SL-D... there is more there… and ... why not?...

[@poppyorangeflower]

What beach is this?

[@KenRuan]

Love without halo effect or mystery is formulaic; isn't love/relationships held up by just this? I can't imagine a formulaic/pragmatic relationship

[@TheGregcawthorne]

The 18 month thing. What was he saying? People break up after 18 months? Exs get in contact after 18 months?

[@RustyShacklification]

couples breaking up, or at least the interviewer's relationships usually seem to end at the 18 month mark he's noticed.

[@robsmith7567]

This comment section is full of many weird uneasy comments

[@clifb.3521]

Mono please. ;)

[@arabic8333]

Someday sex might be explained by Alan' theory of loving heart I am sure about this, it is more than psychological imagination from the ark work to be proved....I am waiting

here is the link... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnIm5yGf9WcZpI ...to Alain's finest moment by far. Sincerely, Cupid

[@ShiveryLivery]

were they flirting?

[@jackstacey1480]

Didn't, like, know Alain had, like, begun talking like a, like, 14 year old schoolgirl, like.

[@kirisumasu709]

he's cute. or is it just me that thinks that? I have a thing for old smart white guys lol

[@elsagrace3893]

The interviewer is so femme

[@jamesmark6547]

just more rhetorical blah... (yawn) Have the courage to get to know the real YOU !

[@redroselace9545]

Omg I did not imagine he was gona look like that. I thought he was gona be really cute. but guys....why doesnt he sound exactly like the vidoes..?

[@nicolathomas8487]

Redrose Abd Alain's brain makes him so attractive, shame you don't have this attribute in your favour, you're an idiot

[@MariusMusty]

probably because of the microphone & the environment in which this was shot
