Thank you to everyone for watching: remember to find more of Alain and our material at ua-cam.com/users/theschooloflifetv and on our website at www.theschooloflife.com
His knowledge is great but WISDOM comes from true teachers like Jesus, Buddha and Eckhart Tolle. Listen to them and you will be SAVED from everything! But I love Alain also☺
He’s not an influencer you pleb, he’s a god damn modern philosopher. It’s not about influencing, it’s about sending a message, not sending influence. Influence is a bad word mkkkk
Always admired Alain and his work with The School of Life. The world needs more voices like this to become the mainstream! Accepting and embracing failure and imperfection is a key to real happiness. So many people are misled by motivational speakers to set unrealistic goals-it can be quite toxic.
I discovered Alain de Botton about 10 years and he is my favourite philosopher of all time. I'm absolutely addicted to his works, and may the world take note of what he says. He knows how to speak to the hearts and minds of contemporary societies, at a time when philosophy has taken a back seat to what the media tells us to think.
"All of us know how to be a great friend for other people, but very often we don't speak as friend to ourselves. We are cruel to ourselves, but so kind when other people call. Be a friend to yourself." Alain de Botton
I am obsessed with this man. His books, videos, and articles have helped me heal my trauma and made my life much more meaningful. The lessons I learned made me love and be more kind to myself, too. :)
It really shows how passionate he is about his work, especially in this video. Been watching for years and I can definitely say that I’m one of the people who look up to him and his channel for guidance in self-discovery and improvement. Thank you for this treasure! I hope with this, his words will reach an even greater audience!
The wisdom of Alain de Botton has helped me for years. His teachings on stoicism allowed me to better cultivate the techniques of CBT when I was going to therapy for my anxiety. I will sing his praises always and I’m just so glad that more people will now know of him following this interview. How special.
Thanks to this interview I got to know this person, Alain se Botton, and hear one more time, but this one, SO convincingly and sweetly put, that I don't have to be a perfect mom. Just a regular, flawed but loving and caring mom 🤗💖. Thanks!
Alain, along with Radio 4, has got me through the past 5 years of crappy life. Living in a ghastly foreign country, job I hate, children moved 2000 miles away, horrible house, no money. Listen to him. He has so much to offer. I don’t know what I’d do without him.
‘A kind word or a smile from someone in the supermarket.. that’s the love we really need right now, not fame or romantic love from just one person’ I’m paraphrasing but I thought this was such a beautifully simple yet powerful idea ♥️
Absolutely love Alain and the School of Life!! I feel like I have grown immensely in my emotional intelligence and resilience in listening to his lectures and reading his books! He both makes me think deeply and calms my mind. Thank you for highlighting him and I hope many more people will check him out!
The wisdom of Alain's words without he even thinking before saying it it's really impressive. I love his work with the School of Life. Thank you so much James Corden for bringing Alain De Botton to share these gentle and much needed reminders. ♥️
Such a huge fan of his work and his impact on humanity. I wish everyone would face themselves and read/listen to his material. Through his work I left my dead end job, got therapy, am changing my entire career and going back to school to build a new one.
I must admit, I never watch James Corden's show, even though I like him. However, when seeing Alain de Botton on it, it's like faith in humanity restored.
Thank you James for revealing your own vulnerability in interviewing Alain de Botton. I hope it brings him into the lives of those who might not otherwise have heard of him. He is my daily go to for a breath of clear clean beautiful air ❤️
This is SUPERB!....Every single, person, parent, & child can benefit from the shared wisdom & proper perspective of Alain's "School of Life". Thank you so much for this. :)
@@harrynac6017 forgive my rudeness, I apologize, you have been blessed with extreme wealth and intelligence, you can solve this issue. Please reflect on a global perspective and be grateful for all of your blessings.
How pleased to see the face behind those beautiful chunks of wisdom. 🐈❤️... And indeed, during the interview, he spoke like in one of His videos. Loved it.
I am a big big big Alain fan and I love his work and speech because of he is so right to the point and no sugarcoating no fairy tales! This was such a great talk btw!
Thanks a lot for reminding me of this great contemporary philosopher.- Actually, I first met him via TV back in 2003, when his series "Phlosophy: A Guide To Happiness" was broadcast in Catalan on Televisió de Catalunya. Lately I need to hear and get knowledge from people who really can teach me how to live while staying true to my joys and desires. Greetings from Terrassa, Catalonia and stay safe everybody! 😘
Thanks for interviewing him today, we always need this kind of words but especially now, I have heard his speeches and followed school of life for a few months now, and his ideas have brought me comfort and peace many many times. Thank you James
another person living in great comfort, speaking about how enjoyable regular life is. enjoying the vulnerability etc. and taking a break from perfect lives and perfect parenting etc. most were living normal vulnerable lives and not obsessed with others situations.
school of life videos are sooo comforting to listen to whenever i’m feeling a bit astray, but also give lots of helpful guidance through challenging life situations. and there’s always compassion involved. loveee
Thank you so much for bringing Alain to your show. People should definitely bring his thoughts into their own lives. It always feels like fresh air and enlightenment every time I listen to him even though all he says is essential knowledge about life that we lack of in a paradoxical way. I love him so... Thank you to both of you!
I agree with caring for and nurturing our friendships, but in a world where everyone cares more about their love interests, meaning your friends care more about their love interests, it’s difficult not to do the same if you don’t want to end up alone
Can we PLEASE have more late night shows intereviewing philosophers, professors, and someone other than celebrities??
Gods, YES! Then I'd actually watch!
Indeed!
Yes yes yes!!
Truth! Yeah and more hosts that actually let their guests speak? K thx bai! Great job James! :)
Exactly!
Thank you to everyone for watching: remember to find more of Alain and our material at ua-cam.com/users/theschooloflifetv and on our website at www.theschooloflife.com
Would love to see Alain in discussion with Jordan Peterson. I love Alain's message. I like Jordan's too but find it more harsh and dark.....
You’re truly the best Alain.
Finally - a worthy guest! Love him & his wisdom.
Yuval Noah Harari was worthy too, have a listen: ua-cam.com/video/sRRhvwkV7L0/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!
Agreed
Agreed!!! Fantastic!
His knowledge is great but WISDOM comes from true teachers like Jesus, Buddha and Eckhart Tolle. Listen to them and you will be SAVED from everything! But I love Alain also☺
Oh my god my favorite person is getting the spotlight he deserves!
Hey that's what I was thinking, I love when there's cross-overs in my personal fave club.
Mine too! And Yuval Harari a little while ago too! James is spying our You Tube history!!! LOL
It's just not OK to question your government because they love us and are always right
Mine too!
Hehe akhirnya...
HIs voice is like Pavlov's bell to me. I hear it and instantly feel comfort.
If u like his voice u'll probably fall in luv with Marisa Peer's voice
I don't. He always sounds so condescending. In fact it is his voice that makes me switch videos.
hahahaha yes! his voice and the voice of david attenborough
hahaha, so true! :)
Alain is what we should actually call an “influencer”..
Agreed! He's the actual deal!
Yes👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥
He’s not an influencer you pleb, he’s a god damn modern philosopher. It’s not about influencing, it’s about sending a message, not sending influence. Influence is a bad word mkkkk
Alain is great. So glad many people will get to know him with this interview
Always admired Alain and his work with The School of Life. The world needs more voices like this to become the mainstream! Accepting and embracing failure and imperfection is a key to real happiness. So many people are misled by motivational speakers to set unrealistic goals-it can be quite toxic.
So agree with you! Toxic Positivity is as unhelpful (bad?) as Positive Toxicity!
I discovered Alain de Botton about 10 years and he is my favourite philosopher of all time. I'm absolutely addicted to his works, and may the world take note of what he says. He knows how to speak to the hearts and minds of contemporary societies, at a time when philosophy has taken a back seat to what the media tells us to think.
There has never been that many good messages in 14 minutes. Thank you! Love the School of Life channel.
Thanks so much Patrick.
Beavo James, Alain De Bottom was a perfect guest at this time. May his message be taken to heart ❤ by all of us. Thank you both for your service.
Robin Laurita *de Botton
Very accurate, extreme conflicting sense of love and human decency. Return to the school of life.
Good on ya, James, for putting him on. Alain has gotten me through heartache, heartbreak, anxiety, and the errs of being human. 🙌🏼
Be a friend to yourself - so on point!
"All of us know how to be a great friend for other people, but very often we don't speak as friend to ourselves. We are cruel to ourselves, but so kind when other people call. Be a friend to yourself."
Alain de Botton
Yeah so true and very important
Bravo James for getting Alain de Botton on your show.
Alain is one of the greatest minds of our time.
The School. Of Life is one of my most favorite UA-cam channels. They have so many videos on a wide variety of topics.
Thanks so much!
Alain de Botton. Love him so much. Wonderful mind and teacher.
I am obsessed with this man. His books, videos, and articles have helped me heal my trauma and made my life much more meaningful. The lessons I learned made me love and be more kind to myself, too. :)
The most sensible words I've heard for a very long time.
Thank you James. Alain's voice should be heard by EVERYONE. He is truly a gift to humanity ❤ The School of Life
It really shows how passionate he is about his work, especially in this video.

I just love Alain De Botton!!!
Alain is one of my favourite people ever!
Wow, Thank You for conducting an interview with Alain De Botton! He is so amazing and authentic.
Alain is having SUCH a positive (pessimistic!) impact on my life at the moment - I am SO glad you interviewed him.
Thanks to this interview I got to know this person, Alain se Botton, and hear one more time, but this one, SO convincingly and sweetly put, that I don't have to be a perfect mom. Just a regular, flawed but loving and caring mom 🤗💖. Thanks!
There was a typo. His name is Alain de Botton.
love him and his message
Alain, along with Radio 4, has got me through the past 5 years of crappy life. Living in a ghastly foreign country, job I hate, children moved 2000 miles away, horrible house, no money. Listen to him. He has so much to offer. I don’t know what I’d do without him.
Radio 4 ? Thanks I'll check it out .
How are you now ?
AUTHENTICITY, HONESTY, VULNERABILITY ...these are the needs of the times! Alain embodies these, that's why we love him so much!
I love Alain. I wish I had found him when I was young and had time.
You still have time
The most comforting voice online
One of my favorite people! Alain rocks! so much wisdom
I'm elated to see Alain! He's gotten me through some tough times.
Such a lovely person
‘A kind word or a smile from someone in the supermarket.. that’s the love we really need right now, not fame or romantic love from just one person’ I’m paraphrasing but I thought this was such a beautifully simple yet powerful idea ♥️
I don't get it. I was always living that way. What were these two celebrities doing to others before the pandemic ?
Absolutely love Alain and the School of Life!! I feel like I have grown immensely in my emotional intelligence and resilience in listening to his lectures and reading his books! He both makes me think deeply and calms my mind. Thank you for highlighting him and I hope many more people will check him out!
My favorite author! Thank you so much for having Alain de Botton on your show. Please have him back soon.
I have a chronic illness and Alan's videos are comforting and getting me back on track every time I sway
Alain de Bottom... a man of reason. I have so much time for him.
The wisdom of Alain's words without he even thinking before saying it it's really impressive. I love his work with the School of Life. Thank you so much James Corden for bringing Alain De Botton to share these gentle and much needed reminders. ♥️
I so appreciate de Botton and TSOL, they are brilliant, truthful, deeply thoughtful, and humorous. I've been reading, listening, for 4yrs.
Alain is finally getting some mainstream exposture, he's been doing v important work for decades! Philosophy legend
“Oh, I’ve been friend zoned. But friendship is a glorious thing!”
That was profound and I needed to hear that.
Alain is my favorite person in the world.
The inauthenticity of social posturing is exhausting. Ironically our ‘’masks’’ are coming off, once we are forced to wear them. I love humanity ❤️
I have Alain de Botton's all books in my library. I wish he was a friend of mine.. 🙏🏻❣
With those books in ur library he already is :)
Alain de Botton has helped me so much in my life. And James Cordon is a beautifully vulnerable man. This was a wonderful video.
Love his views on romantic love. So grounded and beautiful. There’s so many more, satisfying ways to give and receive fulfilling love beyond romance.
The man is a genius. If u havent seen his stuff on youtube u should.
I love Alain. His message is hopeful but not simplistic.
Simple is good.
His channel is pure gold. I really think that school of life is the peak of humanistic lessons that the world has give us. Alain de Botton is a gift
I'm so happy you had him as a guest, James!! Alain is brilliant.
Such a huge fan of his work and his impact on humanity. I wish everyone would face themselves and read/listen to his material. Through his work I left my dead end job, got therapy, am changing my entire career and going back to school to build a new one.
I can't believe I hadn't seen this! Thank you, James for sharing this moment with us, I personally really needed to hear these words today.
He’s always been such a comfort & voice of reason. Thanks for reminding me now is a great time to listen to him!
I must admit, I never watch James Corden's show, even though I like him. However, when seeing Alain de Botton on it, it's like faith in humanity restored.
Thank you James for revealing your own vulnerability in interviewing Alain de Botton. I hope it brings him into the lives of those who might not otherwise have heard of him. He is my daily go to for a breath of clear clean beautiful air ❤️
So glad he got featured here! ❤️
I am a fan of de Botton-what a pleasure to find him on a late night talk show!
Couldn't imagine my life without Alain de Botton 🌸🌸🌸
This is SUPERB!....Every single, person, parent, & child can benefit from the shared wisdom & proper perspective of Alain's "School of Life". Thank you so much for this. :)
Everyone, except the elderly who are dying alone now, due to the lockdown. Is it ok they're feeling not ok? I don't think so.
@@harrynac6017 forgive my rudeness, I apologize, you have been blessed with extreme wealth and intelligence, you can solve this issue. Please reflect on a global perspective and be grateful for all of your blessings.
The school of life, crash course philosophy (on stoicism), and Einzelgänger, are essential during quarantine.
How pleased to see the face behind those beautiful chunks of wisdom. 🐈❤️... And indeed, during the interview, he spoke like in one of His videos. Loved it.
@sailing7777 School of Life
He is brilliant. Can’t stop listening to him
I am a big big big Alain fan and I love his work and speech because of he is so right to the point and no sugarcoating no fairy tales! This was such a great talk btw!
Jesus Alain, I really needed this today. Thank you.
What a great guest! School of Life is awesome!
The School of Life is my favorite youtube channel
its the first time I meet Alain de Botton and he made me feel so wonderful.Thank you James
Thanks a lot for reminding me of this great contemporary philosopher.- Actually, I first met him via TV back in 2003, when his series "Phlosophy: A Guide To Happiness" was broadcast in Catalan on Televisió de Catalunya.
Lately I need to hear and get knowledge from people who really can teach me how to live while staying true to my joys and desires. Greetings from Terrassa, Catalonia and stay safe everybody! 😘
Thank you! Greetings from the whole School of Life team. We hope to come and teach our conference in Barcelona just as soon as the virus allows!
Thanks for interviewing him today, we always need this kind of words but especially now, I have heard his speeches and followed school of life for a few months now, and his ideas have brought me comfort and peace many many times. Thank you James
I love this guy! He genuinely makes my life better
We love you Alain !!!
Friendship is an absolute glorious thing. Thank you for the confirmation and thank you Mr. Corden for the guest appearance.
Love Alain!
what he said is so true,I became friends with my sister because of the quarentine, she worked a lot and we never had time to talk.
This guy is golden. I devour all his School of Life videos. Great books too. Excellent interview. Feel like texting 5 mates now.
another person living in great comfort, speaking about how enjoyable regular life is. enjoying the vulnerability etc.
and taking a break from perfect lives and perfect parenting etc.
most were living normal vulnerable lives and not obsessed with others situations.
He turns everything that seems complicated into simple, relaxing. Positive feeling !!! Yet not so easy in real life
Yeah, al flowers and roses. "It's ok to feel not ok if your mom is dying, but you're not allowed to see her." What a great philosopher.
This man is so awesome. He is very straightforward, I completely agree with the host in his praise of him
Thank you for inviting Alain.
I LOVE ALAIN!
Me too.
@@igorilic509 I like your taste in black and white photos Igor
He is the best!
school of life videos are sooo comforting to listen to whenever i’m feeling a bit astray, but also give lots of helpful guidance through challenging life situations. and there’s always compassion involved. loveee
I discover this man on UA-cam 5/6 years ago. Really glad more people are getting to know him. He is a brillant philosopher
Not all of us has the wisdom to see life as he does, but just listening to him for moment does calm things down.
This is so real.
James Corden you are the best host I ever saw
Ditch the Sourdough love that !
Beautiful Alain! ❤️
Thank you so much for bringing Alain to your show. People should definitely bring his thoughts into their own lives. It always feels like fresh air and enlightenment every time I listen to him even though all he says is essential knowledge about life that we lack of in a paradoxical way. I love him so... Thank you to both of you!
I should take back the money I gave to my university and give them to the school of life
Me too 🤣
word
I agree with caring for and nurturing our friendships, but in a world where everyone cares more about their love interests, meaning your friends care more about their love interests, it’s difficult not to do the same if you don’t want to end up alone
wow........
I really needed to hear this right now.
I'm so glad that these type of people exist. What would we do without their words. ♥
Love him and his message
All of you stay healthy 👍🏻
I'm so glad Alain heeded my advice to sound normal, rather than the fake patronising tone he used to have. It makes such a difference.
Even go back further that a few years to his interviews on the philosophers - PURE GOLD!!
