Alain de Botton: Acrasia, or Misty by Midday

Mar 12, 2012


If you ever had any religious education, you know that religions are quite determined about teaching. Alain de Botton says that even if you don’t want the message that religions teach, you can learn something from their methods.

Alain de Botton is a best-selling author who writes on love, travel, architecture and literature. He started and helps run The School of Life in London, which is dedicated to a new vision of education. His latest book is Religion for Atheists.
