The crowd fell in love with Alain de Botton as he described his views on love, romantic love, art, culture, beauty, happiness and architecture. In a talk that centred on how romanticism has made relationships difficult, Alain offered the view that loving a person involves being generous to the elements of their self that we find challenging or even disgusting, rather than to expect to love everything about them.
