Alain is such a gift to British cullture. Here in America, our thought leaders are shunned to the fringes of media.

What a great interview! I could listen to Alain de Botton all day. Tim Ferris's questions are so interesting that it leads to a lovely in-depth convo. Alain de Botton is such a great empathic teacher and the perfect representative of the School of life. Thank you thank you thank you

Tim! You are a hero for interviewing this guy. Alain is such a (subtly) powerful teacher. I can't recommend people check out his work emphatically enough.

To put it simply, this was incredibly valuable. Thank you so much 💘

I love Alain💕🌺❤️ I could listen to him for hours.

Have been following you both for years, so glad you got together. Alain, your humor is profound!

Great show densely packed with high-concentrated bits of wisdom. Superb audio quality, too. Thank you Tim.

I've read most of your books and for me you come up as one of life's treasures - thank you

Thank you Tim, I have followed you and Alain for quite some time now. Meeting of my favorite minds!

More than anything else, god, religion, principles, anything at all - I confidently believe Alain truly grasps what life is about! The truest kind of hero this world most certainly needs.

Loved this. Love your podcast. (For a long time now). So glad you interviewed Alain De Botton, he’s one of my favourite people, incredibly wise, kind and amazingly precise and simple in his use of the English language to express his wonderful ideas! I thought the interview offered some valuable insights to him and his ideas in a different way than his books.

Such a great interview!!!! THANK you so much to both of you! Not one sec. of this interview is wasted time...THANKS from the bottom of my heart!! ✨✨🌈🌈

Beautiful conversation!

This is a wonderful interview. I am so happy to have listened to it!

Hello there. If you wish, listen to Alain de Botton on an " On Bein With Krista Tippett" podcast, where he talks about his latest book " The Course of Love". That's the most meaningful and profound conversation I have ever heard about love.

Two of my favorites persons Tim and Alan

Great interview, especially you got Alain talk about his parents which is rare. I want to know more about his wife now...:)

Best interview EVER!!

This conversation is great!!!

Strange to've heard de Botton so often in multiple formats, yet never being interviewed. Thanks.

Alain is brilliant!!!!

Wonderful rapid fire questions, Tim.

The part about our ideas of success pertaining to the message " you have to uncover this secret creative gem inside you and then the world will beat a path to you door and you'll have creative freedom and money" (paraphrasing) is brilliant.

I found this video in search of how to pronounce Alain De Botton. Glad I was pronouncing it right this whole time!

Hey Tim, there is a small audio issue at the beginning of this video, Alain says "to kind of" and the intro cuts him off. The podcast version was fine, as far as i remember.

OMG! I use a Pilot G-Tech C4 pen like Alain de Botton too! Favourite pen since 1995. :)

Dear Tim, Platforms like "99 designs" are unethical and very bad for work environment. It is a bottomless race down for designers, where underprivileged designers with not many other choices are forced to compete against each other to bid for every single piece of work, and then the customer might decide to pay or might as well not pay for the work done and for the many hours spent by up to one million two hundred thousand designers! Great deal for customers yes! but I don't see how is this NOT an abuse of these designers. You have probably saved some money supporting this platform, you might have also made some money too, Congratulations! You should feel proud.

Try going to a massage center and suggesting that you want to try 30 different masseurs for 30 hours and you are willing to pay only for 1 hour and ONLY if you like it enough. See what they will answer you. I don't see why it is ok to get design services and not pay for it, but it's wrong to get a massage for example and not pay for it. Designers have bills too and they don't get any discounts just for being designers. Such platforms not only abuses the designers working with them, they also make the conditions of the whole design industry worse. If I could get it for free online why can't I get it for free offline... if I like it I pay for it. Maybe because someone needs to work for a week on it and they need to eat sometimes as well.

@@jadboureslan8099 I totally empathize with your concerns here as I am a concept artist in the animation industry, which is not strictly designing but shares a lot with that discipline. The issue is, there are too many designers. People need to stop joining that industry. If the demand is 1 to 99 (i.e people only need 1 logo for every 99 designers that are out there) then no wonder such an ethic would come about. This is still a free market, and trends reflect the state of an industry. I'm familiar with these issues because I had the same realization with my occupation, there are too many of us for a very small number (relatively) of companies who actually need us. If you are being underpaid, quit, you are not a slave.

I have had pomegranates when I was little, but the hassle to get the flesh didn't make it on my favorite fruits list until I learned the exact trick that Alain mentioned here 25+ years after I first tried it. Life changing tricks...LOL

Everyone at the BBC, or involved in any kind of broadcasting, should concentrate hard at what Alain has to say at around 1.30.00. But the whole interview is great.

Would be curious to hear about where their world-views diverge.

49:20 great observation.

Just came by for the 3rd listen.

Future me: What you're probably looking for is at 6:40

7:30 I just say "Princess" - Saves a lot of trouble (unless one becomes regular)

You forget about us in Canada ! How come ?!

I wish Ferris asked De Botton about his kettlebell routine...

Tim, I wish you would have listened more closely to Alain's responses and focused more on asking critical questions than on showcasing your own knowledge and power. I found some of Tims intros confusing, divergent and self-absorbed. Please make this show more about your listeners than your life.

Would have been a more interesting podcast if you'd let him pick apart the reality of your 4 hour work week and 4 hour body concepts. Guess it's just business, as usual.

30:20 my boy there alain put you back in your american place

In few words. Life sucks, super sucks and will continue to suck up to the grave. Make the best of it. If you are weak life will eat you up. Read Nietzsche amigo. You will find the answer. Excellent Alain. It is sad part is that over 90 % of the ignorant Americans have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
