Pt 1: Are We Truly Defined By Our Past? | Alain de Botton

Best-selling author and philosopher Alain de Botton joins Dr Alex George in this fascinating conversation – if you want to understand yourself better this is one you do not want to miss.  In part 1, Alain explains why things that happen in our childhood have such a profound impact on us – even when we can’t remember it; why a breakdown could be the sign of a breakthrough and how to stop putting emphasis on what other people think.  Find all of Alain’s books at <a href="http://www.alaindebotton.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.alaindebotton.com</a> Follow the podcast on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestompcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thestompcast</a> To improve your mental fitness, get Dr Alex’s book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Manual-BESTSELLER-Fitness-Everyone/dp/1783254904" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Mind Manual</a> <a href="https://bemettle.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Mettle</a>: the mental fitness app for men Hosted on Acast.
