Leading Views: Alain de Botton on Success and Snobs

Leading Blog

Alain de Botton , author of The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work , shared his views at TED on success and snobs: One of the interesting things about success is that we think we know what it means. A lot of the time our ideas about what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They’re sucked in from other people. And we also suck in messages from everything from the television to advertising to marketing, etcetera.
