The Consolations of Philosophy
Alain de Botton
This book explores the philosophical teachings of six influential thinkers: Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. Alain de Botton draws upon their insights to provide solace for common human struggles, such as financial hardship, heartbreak, self-doubt, fear, and societal pressure. Dubbed 'the new rock and roll' by one critic, The Consolations of Philosophy brings a fresh perspective to age-old questions.
