De Botton and his colleagues have a whole series of topical videos on YouTube, presented under the banner of their intriguing organization The School of Life. There is something about the entire enterprise that I find appealing for entirely silly reasons, like De Botton’s narration reminding me of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio show I listened to in the early 80s, and the similarity of the school’s name to the movie The School of Rock. I must find out more!
