It's amazing how you find such old interviews of people, and yes, they are quite soothing to the ear.

I feel that there is a growing sentiment (at least to some extent in the US) that college isn't worth it - I can absolutely understand that sentiment given the prices now and the turmoil, but I feel that some miss out that College (in the classical sense) makes you more rounded. My degree wasn't philosophy, but I was exposed to many different philosophical ideas that I wouldn't have been outside my college education.😊

Wasn’t this book by Boethius ?

[@MarkTapson]

Boethius wrote "The Consolation of Philosophy." De Botton's very similar title is surely a nod to Boethius.

his "school of life" voice-overs are never not a treat for the ears.
