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

Stompcast

About this episode

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.
