Alain de Botton examines the life and work of six philosophers —Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche— and draws from each practical advice for common problems such as unpopularity, lack of money, frustration, inadequacy, heartbreak or difficulties. He presents philosophy as consolation and a guide to living better.
