Alain de Botton turns to six philosophers for practical help with familiar human difficulties. Through Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, The Consolations of Philosophy considers unpopularity, lack of money, frustration, inadequacy, heartbreak, and hardship. De Botton combines biography, philosophical ideas, art, and accessible commentary to show how demanding arguments from the past can illuminate ordinary experience. The result is an inviting introduction to philosophy as a living practice rather than a remote academic exercise.
