I have loved and followed Alain de Botton work. He’s a very interesting philosopher of our times. Loved the conversations.

One of the greatest guests in your podcast 💌

How profound yet so beautifully simplistic. I’ve learnt so much from this podcast, thankyou.

One of my favourite interviews with Allain. Thank you very much for making this happen.

Wonderful 💫 conversation by wonderful people especially about loving someone for who they actually are they’re minds, being and soul, I think that is the key , having the same mindset and outlook generally in life soo important and how maybe rare and special it is if you have this or can find this, imperfection is perfection absolutely - that word again “connection” 💯

Thank you for this wonderful podcast! Found "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle helpful in understanding what love really is. He refers to love a state of "beingness," a recognition of the fundamental oneness of all life, and a deep sense of connection with other beings. love=being seen=seeing yourself in others=presence=being in the now=seeing aliveness=being conscious=having a conscience=true empathy=unconditional acceptance=gratitude=appreciation=seeing the beauty in something=awareness

I listened closely to their mentioning of a lack of love in the world, and then later when Alain talked about the poor [in Christianity] I thought about perhaps we still think of 'the poor' as financially lacking, when perhaps we should be looking at a poverty of friendship, love, comradery, connection and long-term commitments: a poverty of a range of friendships, loves and relationships in our lives. Thank you for the video!

The Christian concept of poverty (in spirit) is not one of lack. It is not the absence of money or resources. Rather, it is the presence of mind that all that we have, all we ever desire is a gift from God, and that our sustenance is from him. When we have that mindset, Christ says we are blessed. I would be interesting to explore how growing in the expression of our faith influence how we love the Other. Interesting discussions indeed.

Awesome perspectives. Thank you guys. Mo, your 1 billion people happy is an amazing legacy, let me know if I can help. All the best.

What a beautiful conversation.

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀️☀️☀️ 💚💛❤️ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

Love listening to Alain always 🫂

Wow , on my newsfeed- I’d forgotten how good this conversation was in every single way especially the beginning

❤ what is love...its when you say....I love the way I feel when I am around you. That is a reminder that I am in love with myself and the pereon who comes into my life is also in love with themselves...without ego

Alain rocks

Ah joyful ….such lovely common sense and insight.

Brilliant. I've subscribed. I already knew & loved Alain; but this is two for the price of one!

Really appreciate these insights, thank you

Thank you! ❤

Reading this caption I thought: I’d better ask my partner. However, it’s worth listening this. 👍 thanks.

-Disconection, loneliness, armared (belittle) -Connected to vulnerability, respect, giving smth that can be used againsr you, safe, close to, -pride - i may do/live all by my self -breakdown - desire for authencity

I find it paradoxical, that on the one hand we all desire the closest form of human connection striped away from all superficialities, facades and external factors, but on the other hand we also crave validation from people based on those superficialities like career, possessions, achievments. I would love to ask Alain why he thinks it's like this. Is one substitute for another or they fulfill each other? If so, it's quite ambivalent. Anyways, that was a great conversation of two super intelligent humans and you, Mo, got a new follower :)

Beautiful

Much appreciation for this fabulous conversation, I am also an "adorable idiot" who learnt so much from both of you!

We are all imperfect, flawed. Theses words hit home. This podcast is an inormous educated insite to me, and those who think what's wrong with me, why do others have more friends, better jobs, good-looking wives or girlfriends. Allan is correct, the world is flawed, driven by failure more of the time. That us normal.

انا اعتقد ان الحب بين ( الرجل و المراءة ) هو ارتباط بين طرفين مختلفين(ذكر و انثي) عشان يكملوا بعض في النهاية و كل ما كان الطرف الاخر بيكون شبه روحي و نفسي الحقيقية كل ما نجحت العلاقة و نجح التواصل بينهم. يعني هو قائم علي الاختلاف في اشياء(ذكر و انثي) و تشابه في اشياء( الروح و النفس الحقيقية ) عشان نوصل لشيء واحد و هو التكامل النهائي هنا بيكون الحب الحقيقي

Mo, you lost me when you spoke of the Middle East. I am a Middle Eastenwe and liberal Muslim, and sex and pleasure is inmensely imporant - in the container of marriage. The wife even gets to divorce her husband if he doesn't fulfil her sexually! Whether she ever does that is another topic but the religion itself is not against sex or pleasure. It just has stuff to say about the context. And we all do, hence your own conversation!

Wow! He explains that love is a skill that involves accepting another person as they are, yet he demands that a woman allows him to cheat!! Why should the woman's nature not be loved and respected as she is, but demand that she be a martyr and share her man's body with someone who might have all kinds of STDs? Unbelievable!! So now I know why this guy is deconstructing romantic love, so he can justify philandering. Also, Song of Songs in the Old Testament is at least 2,500 to 3,000 years old and it tells of passionate, romantic love. So there.
