Alain de Botton: A Guide to Happiness
Every now and then I return to de Botton’s book “The Consolations of Philosophy”. It is quite thin, to the point, and is very easy to read. I was thrilled to find that the Finnish broadcasting company YLE chose to broadcast the TV series “A Guide to Happiness”, which is based on the book.
Rather than spending an hour praising the book, I’ll settle for recommending it. If you think life sucks, pop out to the bookstore and see what de Botton has in store for you. You can get it really cheap, and that’s excellent value for money.
