Alain de Botton: Introspection, defence mechanisms, and ghosts | Happy Place Podcast
Jump to Connections

Breaking patterns of intergenerational trauma could have a profound effect on the state of the modern world. Writer Alain de Botton believes love – or a lack thereof – is at the heart of our personal and societal issues.

In this chat with Fearne, Alain explains why so-called ‘attention seekers’ are precisely the people who need to be wrapped in love and attention. He also talks about why our defence mechanisms usually have real logic behind them, and why we should be curious about other peoples’ odd characteristics rather than getting frustrated by them.

Plus, he answers the simplest and most complex of questions: what actually is a healthy mind?

Alain’s book, A Therapeutic Journey: Lessons From the School of Life is out now.

Alain is so genuine and purely authentic that literally any 'interviewer', as it were, feels performative and fake.

"There is not enough love"- The very true and spot on statement and the reason of all the suffering in this world.

What a wonderful conversation. Deeply generous and thoughtful dialogue about the human condition. I appreciate the curiosity in how we sometimes respond in the way we do, where it might come from and the commitment to sidestep judgement and fixing with compassion and love.

This was an amazing interview!!! You both seem to be connected and on the same page. And Fearne your questions and balance of your own anecdotes added so much. Thank you! I'll be listening to more of your interviews

The comment about funerals is completely true my husband died. I was completely devastated but didn't cry. I now know why.

Talks of dr Gabor Mate with his son are an example of such transgenerational talk. I envy them in a way...I recommend on YT.
