I‘m finally able to get past de Botton‘s structural foibles—the man drops pictures, diagrams, and numbers wherever he wants in a serious text—and am managing to understand and ponder his points!
This is as close to #philosophy as I think I‘ll get, ever since college put me off.
It‘s useful to think about how we attach #moral #merit to #economic status to #happiness, and how it‘s only been 250 years! I hope things evolve again, and soon.
