Melbourne | Philosophy | Video | Alain de Botton | Michael Leunig | Interview | Melbourne Conversations | Culture | April 2009
Alain de Botton on the pleasures and sorrows of work. With Michael LeunigPart 1 | Part 2 Characteristically lucid, witty and inventive, Alain de Botton discusses his new book, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, firstly addressing the audience, then conversing with Michael Leunig. Equally intrigued by work's pleasures and its pains, Alain de Botton asks: Why do we do it? What makes it pleasurable? And why do we daily exhaust not only ourselves but also the planet? We spend most of our waking lives at work -- in occupations often chosen by our unthinking sixteen-year-old selves. And yet we rarely ask ourselves how we got there or what it might mean for us.
