A HUMAN IDEA OF SUCCES

Subodh | January 24th, 2012 | link | comments

Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London. He is a writer of essayistic books that have been described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life.’

Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure — and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is success always earned? Is failure?

In this TEDtalk, he makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.
