Publisher's Synopsis
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.
