1
There has been a huge increase, at least in recorded incidents, of what we call mental illness, mental unwellness.
2
Nietzsche predicted, I think very accurately, that the end of belief would be trouble for human beings.
3
I am here with Alain de Botton.
4
Alain, thanks for joining me.
5
Thank you so much for having me.
6
So I think this conversation probably is, I don't know, two decades coming.
7
I feel like I've known about you for at least 20 years and admired your work from afar.
8
You've done many things.
9
You've written many books and you have the School of Life, which I would love to talk about.
10
But how do you describe your career at this point?
11
What is it that you focus on and how are you showing up mostly now as a thinker?
12
Sure.
13
I mean, I'm broadly interested in the slightly paradoxical and elusive sources of human happiness unhappiness,
14
sorry, that are not really related to material or political shortfalls or events, but broadly lie in the psychological space.
15
Our amazing human ability to make a hell out of often pretty benign circumstances.
16
I'm fascinated by, as I say, the knots we tie ourselves into.
17
And I write books.
18
I operate on YouTube.
19
As you say, I run this organization called the School of Life in London.
20
We're interested in emotional education.
21
And I'm also a psychotherapist.
22
So I see clients one day a week, as well as writing books and things.
23
And the School of Life has published many books.
24
Are you the author of those books? or did you?
25
I am.
26
I and a colleague are the author of all the books.
27
Yes.
28
Wow.
29
You are more prolific than you get credit for then.
30
How many books have you written?
31
There are a lot of them.
32
Well, the School of Life has 70 books under its brand and I've written 15 under my name.
33
So it's a little too much.
34
And I leave it to experts to diagnose what the problem might be.
35
This is L.
36
Ron Hubbard territory, though happily with much better content.
37
Wow.
38
Okay.
39
Well, then I'm glad to see you away from your keyboard for at least the hour that we're speaking.
40
Thank you.
41
Well, so, you know, see, you have focused on these timeless issues of, as you just put it,
42
that, you know, our capacity to suffer unnecessarily, that it's pretty easy to uncouple that from the historical moment.
43
I mean, there are ways in which current technology and And changes in culture,
44
I think, are amplifying that capacity and making it more difficult to be happy in some very ordinary ways.
45
Perhaps these changes are making it easier, too.
46
Let's just talk about culture for a moment.
47
What most concerns you about the cultural changes that we're seeing happening, you know, more or less,
48
you know, accelerating, you know, hour by hour around us now?
49
I wonder if I might start in an unusual, slightly unusual and slightly provocative place, which is with religion
50
and with the decline in much of the modern world with
51
what I would be careful to call a religious mindset as opposed to belief um
52
and i think it was still you know i still diagnose
53
um modern societies as coming out of the very long religious age
54
which preceded it um
55
and you know taking my cue from a thinker like who predicted i think very accurately
56
that the end of belief would be would be trouble for
57
human beings i mean it's not like there was no trouble
58
before um don't get me wrong there was a lot of trouble before as well, but that there were particular kinds of trouble that were going to beset non -religious eras,
59
predominantly non -religious eras.
60
And I think it's a good place to look.
61
I mean, let's look at some of the things that religious societies do and secular societies have problems with.
62
One of the things that religious societies do is to socialize in ritual forms, certain kinds of psychological transitions,
63
which secular societies have a lot of trouble orchestrating or putting on the agenda.
64
I mean, our diaries are filled with business meetings and technical priorities.
65
In the more religious eras, days were devoted to ideas, to priorities of the soul, if you like.
66
Now, one can have all kinds of objections to how those priorities were framed
67
but it's a very interesting way in which in the 19th century what happens is that
68
private life gets personalized and individualized to an unprecedented degree.
69
And so if you're in love, if you're struck by nature, if you're interested in community, if you're moved by the sight of mountains, et cetera, you do that on your own.
70
You're not within any kind of structure.
71
And we've had a hard time cohering people into structures that guide,
72
psychological, I guess when you might call health, religions talked of the soul.
73
We don't need to use that word soul, but it's a very interesting word.
74
Let me just explore that in the current context.
75
I mean, there are religious societies or large communities now
76
that you envy for their the degree to
77
which their commitment to their specific doctrines and ideology grants them depth of community and kind of thickness of culture?
78
They're not atomized in ways that you admire?
79
Yeah.
80
Again, slightly strangely, no. I'm not interested in looking backwards or sideways to religious eras.
81
I'm doing something slightly unusual, which is to say, to really advocate for creativity,
82
creativity in the areas in which religions used to operate.
83
I'm not interested in reviving religions or fostering new forms of religiosity,
84
but rather in exploring what religions were up to and thinking about what some of the gaps, you might say, are.
85
I mean, many of the museums of Europe, take the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam were explicitly modeled in the late 19th century on churches.
86
There was a very common belief that culture would replace scripture, that in the absence of divine beliefs,
87
what would pick up the slack, what would direct emotion, what would provide points of communion, et cetera, would be the arts.
88
And that's why, as I say, so many civic cultural buildings look like churches or temples,
89
places of worship, the very direct kind of reference.
90
And so one might say, well, isn't that fair enough?
91
And I draw attention really to the way in which that seems a slightly incomplete project.
92
So I'm speaking to you from London.
93
If you showed up at the Tate Gallery
94
and went to the Rothko room and knelt down in front of a Rothko
95
and burst into tears and were profoundly moved in a way
96
that we're not really used to in the age of museums
97
and according into the codes of how to behave in a museum, you'd be quickly ushered out by the guards.
98
You're supposed to imbibe art in ways that are, you know, one might say chilly, even cold.
99
It's a private experience.
100
It's non -ecstatic.
101
It is not done with others.
102
And there's a sort of limit to what we're allowed to expect from a work of art.
103
It's both meant to be extremely important and nothing to cry about or indeed dance about.
104
And that strikes me.
105
And I'm intrigued because all societies, I mean, take the ancient Greeks who had some fascinating rituals.
106
So once a year, there was the festival of Dionysus.
107
Dionysus, the god of wine, the god of night, the god of folly.
108
And, you know, he's got his ritual moments.
109
And the whole citizenry, especially women, exit the city during the festival of Dionysus, dance in ecstatic ways to the beating of drums.
110
And, you know, of course, our friend Nietzsche here is very interested in this.
111
What's going on here?
112
What are the ancient Greeks knowing?
113
What do they know about us that we seem to have forgotten?
114
And, you know, I'm not the first person to point out that there has been a huge increase,
115
at least in recorded incidents of what we call mental illness, mental unwellness.
116
And one of the ways of thinking about that epidemic of mental unwellness is that the extreme emotions,
117
the untenable emotions that manifest themselves now privately have been, in different points in history,
118
marshaled around common rituals, which one might say handled them pretty cleverly, quite intelligently.
119
For the ancient Greeks, the concept of going a little mad once a year, or perhaps more often, was taken very seriously.
120
and was not seen, was seen as different from actually being mad.
121
Going mad is something that you do because, you know, there's divine madness in each of us.
122
Being mad is a more permanent state, often to do with denying the fact that there is divine madness in us.
123
And so you know, the Greeks rather cleverly had these two characters, Apollo and Dionysus, at the center of their culture.
124
Apollo interested in reason, in calm, in order, balance, symmetry, and Dionysus very interested in other things.
125
Again, I'm less interested in the specifics of these gods.
126
We might find other gods.
127
We might find other festivals.
128
We might look at things differently.
129
But there's a methodology there.
130
There's a way of structuring experience, which modern society doesn't have.
131
And I'm very interested in drawing attention to that.
132
Well, that's very interesting.
133
I think I want to just explore all of that terrain again
134
a little more systematically just because I'm interested to discover if there's anything we disagree about.
135
I think you and I have been thought to have disagreed.
136
I think your book Religion for Atheists came out.
137
When was that?
138
2012. Oh, yeah.
139
2012. So yeah, about the same time as you were very prominent on what looked like another side.
140
I was the four -headed atheist along with Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins and Daniel Tennant.
141
I think people thought you and I fundamentally disagreed about a few things there.
142
And I'm hearing echoes of that suspicion in what you just said, but I'm not sure I disagree with any of what you said, but I just want to try to figure this out.
143
So I think I can completely sign up to the set of claims that I thought I heard,
144
which is that one, secular culture is uncomfortable with ecstasy, right?
145
We don't have a frame in which to think about it and integrate it and normalize it and even prioritize it.
146
And ecstasy might even be the wrong noun.
147
It's more that there's a positive end to the continuum of human well -being that has not been well explored,
148
especially in Western culture and especially of late.
149
I very much like your use of the word ecstasy.
150
I think it's bang on.
151
And, you know, let's go straight to the nightclub at this point.
152
You know, the word ecstasy has been linked to, obviously, traditionally a drug that you take in a nightclub.
153
And even if you think of the nightclub, the nightclub, there are nightclubs all over the world.
154
They don't have very high cultural prestige.
155
They don't have, there's no psychological meaning appended to them.
156
There's no transcendental function.
157
They are in the world of fun, of recreation, which I think is a real pity.
158
And I think one of the things
159
that the modern world does is it misses out on drawing from things like the nightclub,
160
the themes that previous ages would have mined in them.
161
So, you know, if I was the absolute ruler of...
162
Just to add a few pieces to this puzzle for you to work with, I think what you're arguing for is
163
that secular culture needs a conception of profundity and the sacred that traditionally only religion was able to give us.
164
Totally, totally.
165
That's absolutely right.
166
And even, you know, take the concept of the planetarium.
167
So all around the world, planetariums, you go and look at stars.
168
How do we justify planetariums?
169
It's overwhelmingly to do with scientific explanation rather than or, or A -W -E.
170
In other words, you know, you go to planetarium and they're very keen to tell you about the precise dimensions of, you know, Kepler 32b and, you know, the rings of Saturn,
171
etc. Rather than what I think would be an equally apposite point, which is how small we are in the universe,
172
you know, ego reduction, which has traditionally been one of the functions that religion has taken on very effectively.
173
You know, in Zen Buddhism, there were moon viewing ceremonies on platforms, poetry was read, rice cakes were eaten,
174
or still are in some parts of japan at some points
175
um in other words the moon is being used not as an astronomical phenomenon
176
but as a um sort of psychosocial phenomenon as a as a as a tool of culture
177
and that's very helpful so
178
if you look at you know the nightclub uh the planetarium etc there are lots of things
179
that secular culture has but isn't properly um connecting up with some of the themes
180
that religions were pretty good at bringing to the fore.
181
Well, now there's, as you I'm sure are aware of this,
182
there's this resurgent interest in psychedelics and both on the research end and on the so -called recreational end.
183
Um, and granted there, there are two very different moods with which one can approach this project.
184
It can be the nightclub mood of just having fun or the, um,
185
the more contemplative mood of actually trying to understand something deep
186
and durable and profound about the nature of your mind
187
and your capacity for overcoming the unnecessary suffering of which you referenced at the beginning here.
188
Yes.
189
I mean, I think psychedelics are very interesting.
190
I've explored this theme.
191
I mean, if we look at, you know, you mentioned these two functions.
192
Absolutely.
193
I mean, one of the functions of psychedelics,
194
MDMA, etc., is socially to remind us of what we have in common with other people.
195
You know, when people say, I took this substance and I loved everybody.
196
This is, of course, one of the feats of kind of spiritual development in all religions,
197
that it is through kind of meditative activities and and also ecstatic activities, that you discover that the barriers between humans are,
198
let's put it gently, exaggerated in normal life.
199
In normal life, we focus on the differences, but how interesting and how nice life would be if we focused on the similarities.
200
And we may need a substance and a setting in which that can more easily be accessible to us.
201
And then, you know, you mentioned self -exploration.
202
Well, exactly.
203
I mean, the Freudians, bless them, and I'm very indebted to the Freudian tradition, they understand that one of the main obstacles to thinking about yourself is fear,
204
that there are resistance based on a fear of all sorts of deeply uncomfortable things about oneself, like, you know, one's sexuality may be more complicated,
205
one may have aggressive urges where one's supposed to be merely,
206
inverted commas, nice, etc. And that a substance like MDMA might lower the defenses,
207
enabling one to achieve insight.
208
And again, you know, what a serious mission for something which for too long languished in the lane called fun.
209
So, you know, yeah.
210
Have psychedelics been part of your process?
211
I mean, have you taken the various drugs?
212
I don't know if I'm going to be arrested for saying so.
213
I don't know.
214
But yes, I have taken MDMA and psilocybin in sort of clinical or pseudo -clinical settings.
215
In other words, for these ends of self -exploration more than so -called fun.
216
And they've been tremendously helpful in essentially,
217
you know, my problem with drugs and alcohol was always that these things were not being used seriously.
218
It's not the substance itself that I've ever had any problem with.
219
And again, religions have been wonderful at reminding us.
220
I mean, you know, what is Dionysus responsible for?
221
He's responsible for the god of wine.
222
He's a god of wine.
223
And how interesting to put wine right at the center of, you know, ritual and psychological development.
224
And we too often fail to do that.
225
Yeah, well, the Greeks, as you know, had the Ellicinian mysteries for a couple of millennia.
226
And, you know, those who partook came away saying that this was the foundational few days of their lives.
227
And to some degree, it's at least if we don't blow it and recapitulate some of the errors of the 1960s here,
228
what the current moment promises is a more sober, more methodical, more scientifically informed,
229
but yet nonetheless profound kind of reintegration of that kind of ritual, you know, the pharmacological ritual in culture.
230
You know, I'm thinking about why people are boring.
231
All human beings have very complex lives, but we all know some people who, when you come into their vicinity,
232
you yourself feel that you have an awful lot to say to them and around them.
233
And there's a lot of feeling.
234
And other people, we feel, you know, they are saying, what have you been up to lately?
235
And the mind goes completely blank, largely because I tend to think that this is a function of how much they've explored of themselves.
236
A so -called interesting person is generally somebody who's been very interested in themselves, not in a narrowly egocentric way, but they've opened a lot of doors.
237
And I think one unconsciously senses that when you come into contact with them and then you have a lot to say.
238
I would immediately put you in that category, Sam, which is why people enjoy talking to you.
239
And I think that one of the things
240
that psychedelics allow people to do is more easily explore bits of their minds
241
which when they are outside of the substance continues
242
and gives them a kind of space
243
which they allow to other people to you know explore their own minds
244
and so one ends up you know having a more interesting time
245
and a more
246
if you use a hackneyed word compassionate time where there's a lot more on the table to discuss
247
and to to feel Well, let's talk about the attenuation of the ego, because it strikes me that there's a normative,
248
optimal, entirely desirable version of this, and it's one that I've thought a lot about and spoken a lot about.
249
But there's also a kind of pathological counterfeits,
250
I would say, and they relate to the discomfort we referenced a moment ago around ecstasy
251
and secular culture and its political implications.
252
I mean, when you're talking about, you know, the Dionysian attitude and what that looks like at the level of a crowd,
253
I mean, it looks one way in a rave or, you know, other nightclub setting.
254
It looks another way in a political context, you know, that, you know, one could argue that at,
255
you know, a large political rally, you know, Nuremberg looking or otherwise,
256
there is a kind of self -overcoming of the individual.
257
There's this fusion to some larger end
258
that amounts to people kind of losing themselves in shoulder -to -shoulder contact with their brothers and sisters.
259
And the pathology of all of that is all too obvious when you just read any bit of history.
260
How should we think about the success and failure of what lies beyond the ego?
261
Such a fascinating question.
262
I mean, I'd begin with the story of every human in a family uh you emerge into the world with a mother
263
and a father and you know it's hard to remember
264
but essential to remember how mighty every mother and father
265
or every caregiver looks to an infant um you know this
266
large person can throw a ball across the garden can master
267
language can write uh can sing can pick you up
268
and um spin you around the room uh and And from that experience, all of us have rooted in us,
269
I think, a capacity to be awed by another human and, as it were, to imagine,
270
to project onto them an all -knowing quality.
271
And in normal development, in normal psychological development,
272
we gradually discover in adolescence that our parents are flawed, that even though they looked absolutely powerful when we were seven,
273
by the time we're 17, we discover that they're boring, frightened, uncertain, and in many ways, not sure of where they're going.
274
And these are wonderful discoveries, necessary discoveries of adolescence.
275
And if I can make a strange link of democracy,
276
democracy is the democratic mindset is one which is post -adolescent and properly recognizes the impossibility of heroes.
277
There are no heroes.
278
There are merely humans like you and me who are finding their way, prone to error, and not omnipotent.
279
But in moments of stress, in moments of regression, people and peoples will, as you know, of course,
280
regress back to that childhood mentality and then you get serious dangers
281
because if somebody's the daddy or the mummy and they don't have the benevolence that we sometimes associate with those words, then you've got trouble on your hands.
282
And I think it's in all of us.
283
All of us can be in danger, depending on our state of mind and the atmosphere around,
284
of projecting onto leaders a power that no adult can possess,
285
simply because that's where we all came from and it's a lot easier when you're feeling under pressure to believe that.
286
Death is a very important thing to keep on the agenda
287
not just for the actual moment you're going to die but for everything it symbolizes about your limits of understanding and control.
288
Accepting death in its metaphorical sense of limits is a wonderful
289
route to making you you know a little bit less of a difficult person a little bit less of an awkward person.
290
People become a lot more fun when they accept their limitations.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
