Alain de Botton -A kinder gentler philosophy of success

Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure. He encourages us to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work. His books take on some of the fundamental worries of modern life (am I happy? where exactly do I stand?), informed by his deep reading in philosophy and by a novelist's eye for small, perfect moments. His newest book is The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work.  His goal is (through any of his mediums) to help clients learn "how to live wisely and well."
