Alain De Botton is a superb human being ... a living example of human excellence . I share many of his concerns and interests , but confess my inferior intellect and achievements .

I believe that everyone does their best. I have not come across any evidence that refutes that point of view.

i know this is irrelevant, but anyway. I have had a mental illness, and this has i think affected my ability to think clearly. But i do nt want a lot in life. I think my illness was not related to my need for personal realization. But at the end of the day, all i want is to feel mentally well and to have the basic needs, and i think this is possibly what most people want.

For real! Happiness is accessible to anyway, until we don’t over complicate it.

Life seems like one big paradox, doesn't it? It's no wonder why there is so much anxiety...and it only seems to be getting worse. Money makes the world go around!

I love a lot of rubbish presented in a crystal clear reasonable voice and a British accent. If you can master a few banalities and build on them the world can be your oyster and people will pause for your wisdom and if you are lucky they will pay you to pause and give them the benefit of your.....................................This is a really good illustration of a particle physicist telling me I am really just empty space which plays on the fear that the empty space might be between my ears as I wander this world of wonders.
