“It’s perhaps easier now, than ever before, to make a good living. It’s perhaps harder, than ever before, to stay calm, to be free of career anxiety.”
Alain de Botton at TED, speaking about career crisis. (My favorite author, incidentally. Thanks Brian!)

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Very insightful. Definitely worth 17 minutes!

It is so true, but it means that our mind has to be quieter whereas it is quick to judge, constantly wanting to become this or do this or that.
Thank you for the video

I really liked this, thanks. Sarah would you recommend any of his books over any others? I’ve never read any of his books but am very interested to now.

Wow! So many of the things said in this video are things I’ve been saying to my friends and colleagues for years, without many of them listening to me very much :/
