I love Alain de Botton, he's always spot on

A-big-hill :

Jimmy carr must have been brought up in a very happy pleasant home.

LadyPlumberDoc :

Wow! So deep!🥺

Natasha Worby :

Parental envy is real. I stopped contact with my mother at 19 for this exact reason. I am also hilarious due to my trauma based dark humour 🙃

inezznadine :

Alain de Botton's voice could calm a hurricane

enomanika :

the voice of the school of life? 🤔

VanyaReads :

Is he the voice in the School of Life videos?

whatever! :

"families are difficult places", at some point, yes.

sarahdreamsof :

mind blown

David Safo :

I love the baby hair

Amber :

I cannot wrap my head around parents not wanting their children to succeed that’s my main for my son to go on and be great

hannah_diane :

100% , uneducated parents are more likely to tell their children that being highly educated is a sign of arrogance or thinking your better than others

curlywurly58 :

yes! parental envy - in my mother's case she also despised me for 'doing better' academically than my older favourite sister. So confusing as a child. I survived by detaching emotionally

Rach :

I feel personally attacked 🤣🤣

Thembi.M :

Invisibility is my trauma superpower.

Ace Conn :

This actually explains why I am hilarious 👀🤣

MrsBlobbie :

This was true of Robin Williams

Bawbag Jim :

you could have a parent that says they want you to succeed and repeatedly set you up for failure.

MelissaIsLoud :

Not necessarily. I’m hilarious. Been told many times. And I’ve also been told I have my father’s sense of humor. We loved egging each other on.

midas touch :

I closed my eyes and that voice sounded soooo familiar. School of life ?

Skybluetopaz :

I worked in unemployment research for a while, interviewing generationally unemployed families. The pressure to not be successful at school/in work was immense in these families, it was a real shock

Paolo :

"families are difficult places" that hits hard

littleyum :

My parents got angry with me when I got promoted, they said I thought I was better than them

Astrid Pelligra :

thanks mom and dad for making me the funniest person ever

Marie :

I could listen to Alain de botton for hours. voice and content!
