The 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? And 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, de Botton looks at many buildings around the world, from medieval wooden cottages to modern skyscrapers. He examines sofas, cathedrals, tea sets, and office complexes, then expresses a series of philosophical ideas that are often surprisingly astonishing. This book will take you on a fascinating tour through the history of architecture and interior design and their philosophy, and it will change your perspective on your home.
