AS HEARD ON THE DIARY OF A CEO PODCAST WITH STEVEN BARTLETT

This book is about how to optimize our mental health. Written with kindness and empathy, it is a practical guide to emotional well-being, calmness, and psychological maturity. Alain de Botton explores how we can tackle a variety of mental challenges, from mild to serious. It examines how and why we can become overly anxious or depressed, how we can better understand our formative experiences, and how we can build resilience to live wisely despite difficulties.

At its heart, this is a book about psychological happiness – discovering balance and meaning, and how to find connection and joy.

‘This book does an amazing job of making you realize that what you’re experiencing, and the way you are, is not proof of your inadequacy. It’s actually proof that you’re perfectly human’ - Steven Bartlett, author and host of The Diary of a CEO

‘One of our most consistently illuminating writers on contemporary culture’ - John Gray, New Statesman
