This text attempts to show how philosophy can help us live our lives. The book is divided into six chapters, each one of which tackles a common human problem, illuminated by the career and writings of a key figure in the history of philosophy.
From the author of the bestselling HOW PROUST CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, a wonderfully witty and enlightening look at how philosophy can do the same. For Alain de Botton philosophy seems the natural place to seek answers to the riddles of human unhappiness. Here he pairs six philosophers - Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer and Nietzche - with six everyday problems to which he feels they can give the most helpful and fascinating solutions.
