  I love his touch of irony and humour about human frailties and conditions while he teaches us to understand ourselves and others better.

  I talked to Dr de Botton at some CC here in IL while he was on an early book tour. He was most generous with his time to the students and fans. He's an excellent author and thinker.

  I could literally listen to that man read the phone book... It's just so insightful and intelligent and it just has a strong drawing effect...

  Blind faith in others is not true love but trying to understand others is true form of love. <br>Trying to understand others can&apos;t produce hate or fear except love and kindness in us.

  I am a romantic from the Love generation of San Francisco in the late 60s, early 70s. Now that 7 decades have passed since each parent took turns traumatizing me, I am convinced that the ideal love affair (that lasts while on earth) would be, after the Initial Crush, to buy houses right next door to each other and pay surprise visits in order to be Re-traumatized “that special way” over and over and . . . What bliss!
