Interesting what he talks about in the start here, about tourism not being interested in work. When I was in Thailand I had the pleasure of working on the rice fields for a week. I was there for three months, but that week was definitely the most interesting and enjoyable week. I really got the know the Thai farmers I was working alongside, I got to use my body in a new way, I learned about how to use a sickle and process rice.<br><br>I really thought that was a great idea for tourism, that more would want to have such an experience, and one could make a living accommodating for western tourists wanting to get to know the real life of a Thai farmer. But it's not. Back then, I was unemployed. I really cannot imagine myself having a good time doing that now.

Dear Mr. Botton , wish you consider teaching this at high school too. That is where youth could use your knowledge in order to make their lives better .

Freud actually never said that the pillars of life are work and love in any of his written works. This is an opinion that Erik Eriksom claimed Freud had said to him in personal communication.
