I'll come back to it but it's just not the time right now. It's a great book tho

The Marie Kondo of philosophy. Alain de Botton takes a similar space in the cultural sphere as Malcolm Gladwell: a public intellectual who makes sort of specious claims or explains relatively obvious phenomena. De Botton is a far more eloquent writer than Gladwell, of course. But that's not to excuse the relative lack of substance that The Consolations offer.
