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 - an accessible and eye-opening exploration of our
relationship with 'the news' 'His gift is to prompt us to think
about how we live and how we might change things' The Times 'De
Botton analyses modern society with great charm, learning and
humour. His remedies come as a welcome relief' Daily Mail 'Like all
classic de Botton, there are plenty of insightful observations
here, peppered with some psychology, a dash of philosophy, a big
dollop of commonsense' Scotsman 'The news' occupies a range of
manic and peculiar positions in our lives. We invest it with an
authority and importance which used to be the preserve of religion
- but what does it do for us? Mixing current affairs with
philosophical reflections, de Botton offers a brilliant illustrated
guide to the precautions we should take before venturing anywhere
near the news and the 'noise' it generates. Witty and global in
reach, The News will ensure you'll never look at reports of a
celebrity story or political scandal in quite the same way again.
