Nevertheless, this is his latest project. In all of de Botton’s work, there is this seeking impulse that mirrors that of religion his central question is ‘How should we live?’ And yet, says de Botton, it ‘felt unnatural to seek wisdom in religion, because I’m an atheist.’ ![]() ‘I’ve been looking for wisdom,’ says Alain de Botton to a packed Barclays Pavilion – Hay-on-Wye’s equivalent of Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. ![]() ![]() But he knows that nine times out of ten, it’s someone the victim knew.Īnd that means someone is lying.
