O Consolo da Filosofia by Alain de Botton
3.0

3.5 ⭐

I enjoyed this book and found indeed useful advice to put into practice in my life.

I just disliked some things regarding this specific edition/translation, namely the excessive use of images (which I am not sure there were so many in the original) many of which completely unnecessary and that the translation of some citations seemed to me poorly done.

Then, I would just add that at times the book had comments I deemed unnecessary, that some ideas could be developed further and I expected a bit more from the book.

Having said that, I did like the book and I look forward to reading more books from Alain de Botton.
