The Theory of Everything

Here’s something to blow your mind this weekend.

Philosopher, author, journalist, educator and someone that I admire to the point that I would do (almost) anything to get him on an episode of Six Pixels of Separation, Alain de Botton, recently gave a presentation at the famed Google Zeitgeist event. If you have not read any of his books, you do not know what you are missing. Start off with The Pleasures And Sorrows of Work, Status Anxiety or The News: A User’s Manual. It’s big-brain stuff (so pack a lunch and bring along your Moleskine). This is a powerful twenty-two minute presentation titled, The Theory of Everything

Trust me on this: Alain de Botton, Philosopher & Author – The Theory of Everything
