Product details

The number one bestseller worldwide. A book by one of the most important voices in modern philosophy, author of "Lessons in Love," "The Consolations of Philosophy," and "The School of Life."
The book "Architecture of Happiness" explores the fascinating, hidden connections between the buildings we live in and our long-term well-being.
What makes a house truly beautiful? Why do so many new houses look so ugly? Why do we have heated arguments about sofas and paintings? Is it possible to resolve differences in tastes and preferences satisfactorily?
To answer these and many other questions, Alain de Botton examines buildings around the world, from medieval log cabins to modern skyscrapers. He scrutinizes sofas, cathedrals, tea sets, and office complexes, then expresses a host of philosophical insights that often come as a surprising surprise. *Architecture of Happiness* will take you on a fascinating journey through the history and philosophy of architecture and interior design, and will transform how you see your own home.
"Charming and intelligent... full of wonderful ideas expressed in a beautiful and joyful way."
Independent
"Alain de Botton speaks and writes about big, complex subjects with a deceptively clever innocence."
Sunday Telegraph
"Clever, provocative, but as fresh as a daisy."
