THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER From one of our greatest voices
in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The
Consolations of Philosophy, Religion for Atheists and The School of
Life - Alain de Botton sets out to understand our universal fear of
failure - and how we might change it 'De Botton's gift is to prompt
us to think about how we live and how we might change things' The
Times We all worry about what others think of us. We all long to
succeed and fear failure. We all suffer - to a greater or lesser
degree, usually privately and with embarrassment - from status
anxiety. Alain de Botton gives a name to this universal condition
and sets out to investigate both its origins and possible
solutions. He looks at history, philosophy, economics, art and
politics - and reveals the many ingenious ways that great minds
have overcome their worries. The result is a book that is not only
entertaining and thought-provoking - but genuinely wise and helpful
as well. 'He analyses modern society with great charm, learning and
humour. His remedies come as a welcome relief when most books
offering solutions to the stresses of life recommend the lotus
position' Daily Mail
