1:22 "Terrified people breed terrified children.." Alain de Botton is also an excellent English speaker for me. In addition to the expressed ideas that I write down, I put aside a lot of new words and the gain is double. Thank you very much, Alain!

Love listening to Alain ~ recently discovered him . This speaking to the body Marie Manucheri , a healer and a nurse , teaches the art of healing ourselves by talking to our bodies, our organs. She has cured many people by this method alone , talking to people’s organs and asking what it needs (!) …we are moving in this direction… hurray to hear from Alain … you are stepping into new territory 🤗 it takes a very open mind to go there ( besides brilliance)

Hearing something like life is pain doesn't make me laugh and knowing others find life meaningless at the end so we shouldn't take it so seriously doesn't make me relieved it makes me even more sad because now i feel confirmed and sad for them too. I wish it was the other way around as it seems to be for so many in the comments.
@jeraldbaxter3532Ай бұрын
At around the 34 minute mark, they talk about being able to share our pain, our negativity with others; earlier the fact that the world is filled with negativity is stated. At first this seems contradictory, but I believe that it is a question of how much we focus, and then dwell, on the negative. To present a simplistic analogy: it's one thing to draw a toxin out of our body and then dispose of it, and another thing to save the toxin to "play with" or even swallow, all over again. In other words, are we venting for relief, or are we venting to get sympathy, or even worse, because we have become a tape player set on a loop. We all know at least one person who never has anything positive or happy to say; chances are we know several, or,, even worse, we are that person.

I don't think you need to explore the past. You can't change it anyway. The past no longer exists so why worry about something that's not real? Concentrate on now, because that is where life is happening.
@Leila-ie3ms8 ай бұрын
That works well to a point but if you are acting unconsciously in the now you can’t change things and be free to respond to the now without the knowledge and awareness of the past
@evadebruijn5 ай бұрын
To consciously leave the past behind is different than disregarding the past and how it shaped you. Choosing not to look too deep into certain thoughts and feelings one has does not make them disappear, on the contrary. ✌️

@Alnivol6669 ай бұрын
This is an one hour podcast. Not sure what your expectations are but it seems like they are very unrealistic. Each case has to be dealt with at an individual level. There is nothing wrong in talking about abstractions in this context because you can't address any individual case. You want that, go see a therapist personally. You want a case study, read case studies.
@foop99 ай бұрын
On top of watching the school of life for several years, I've seen almost all of his videos where he incorporates these sorts of narratives, as well as videos where he speaks alongside other commentators like esther perel (who I believe to be more credible), and am familiar with his writing. Nothing ive noticed would suggest a deeper comprehension (or interest) of life than what Alain expresses in these breif interviews, and that's the point. He has not enhanced or worked on any of his own theories for the entirety of his career-which speaks volumes. I dont see his work as much more than a brand and even brands evolve with time. The philosophical community will lose nothing when he's gone
@Alnivol6669 ай бұрын
@@foop9 what exactly would be a deeper comprehension of life exactly? You seem to have certain expectations which are quite subjective in nature and somehow you want Alain to cater to them for some reason. Seems like a you problem if I am being honest. Have no idea what you mean to say with Esther Perel is more credible. Credible in what sense? What exact standard are you using when you pass judgement? Where is your research to be found exactly? I think you misunderstand Alain's intent with his work. He is not writing for the academics in philosophy. He is writing for the layman who wishes to have philosophical ideas presented to them in ways that are easy to grasp.
