Alternatives Welcomes Alain De Botton

Hello,
We look forward to welcoming you to our event this evening with Alain De Botton.
Alain is, of course, the philosopher, television presenter and writer whose books include The Consolations of Philosophy and Status Anxiety
Tonight Alain turns his attentions to the pleasures and sorrows of work, and the joys and perils of the modern workplace. We invite you to come and hear what other people get up to all day - and night - to make our frenzied contemporary world function. With a philosophical eye and his characteristic combination of wit and wisdom, Alain will lead you on a journey around a deliberately eclectic range of occupations, from rocket science to biscuit manufacturing, and accountancy to art, in a search of what make jobs either fulfilling or soul destroying.
You can book HERE or turn up and pay on the door.
Best wishes,
Esther, Richard & Steve
