    Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London. He's writer of essayistic books that have been described as a philosophy of everyday life. He's written on love, travel, architecture and literature. His books have been bestsellers in 30 countries. Alain also started and helps to run a school in London called the School of Life. Dedicated to a new vision of education. Alain's latest book published in September 2019 is a collection of essays written for the School of Life titled "The School of Life: An Emotional Education". Now, I've been a fan of Alan de Botton since 1997. He is brilliant, eloquent, sensitive, and captivating. He blows my mind and it is such a thrill to bring this conversation to you guys. It is a true mind jam for the ages. And so without further ado, I present my conversation with Alain de Botton. Welcome to Flow Sessions.

Fantastic topic but Jason can get a bit frustrating

The speakers he gets are on the show are fantastic and their insights equally mindblowing. The topics and discussions are incredible and audio quality is very good.
My gripe though is Jason tends to interrupt and take over the mic often. After the third of fourth episode you can pretty much predict the 3-4 quotes and poems he recycles with every single guest. The world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower. I think he tries to get a bit too theatrical ok the podcast and forgets this isnt YouTube but a chance to speak with some or the fantastic speakers and unearth ideas and concepts at the root of our humanity and consciousness.

I remember the one with Alain De Botton (easily my favorite episode) and Alain tries to start speaking like 4 times while Jason is doing his performance and then Alain says “JASON” and then he realizes he needs to chill a bit. Still definitely worth listening to it you wont get annoyed by what I said.
