Building of happiness

The first book among the best-selling books worldwide. A book by one of the most important voices in the field of modern philosophy, author of "The Course of Love," "The Consolations of Philosophy," and "The School of Life." The book "The Architecture of Happiness" explores the enchanting hidden connections between the buildings we inhabit and our long-term well-being. What makes a house truly beautiful? And why do many new houses look very ugly? Why do we have intense discussions about sofas and paintings? Is there a way to satisfyingly resolve differences in tastes and preferences? To answer these questions and many others, Alain de Botton looks at many buildings around the world, from wooden cottages in the Middle Ages to modern skyscrapers. He examines sofas, cathedrals, tea sets, and office complexes, then expresses a series of philosophical ideas that are often surprisingly fascinating. The book "The Architecture of Happiness" will take you on a captivating journey through the history of architecture and interior design and their philosophy, and it will change your view of your home. "Enchanting and clever... full of wonderful ideas expressed in a beautiful, joyful way" Independent Alain de Botton discusses big and complex topics and writes about them with innocent, clever naivety.
