WOW! This man is absolutely brilliant! Definitely one of the most underrated intellects of our day. I've heard so far, at least three other interviews he's given and they've all been fantastic. He's also the creator of the "School of Life" Channel which is also highly recommended!
6:45 I admire Alain de Botton but Facebook seems to be less about friendship and more about promoting one’s personal brand by creating a facade designed to convince their online social contacts that they are more successful and happy than in actual fact.
Personal sufficiency, public luxury otherwise known as socialism. Capitalism is an artificial abstract construct that pays scant regard to the planet that we all depend on. Do a Permaculture course and u will never look back.
The WHOLE of the extremely backward and even stubbornly still conservative SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIETY, including its Corporate World, should listen to THIS and LEARN from it immediately!!!
