He’s helped me realise my thoughts
Yes, some sort of genius. He’s helped me realise my thoughts and opinions aren’t weird, just not usual....and that’s okay with me!

Some sort of genius
De Botton is some sort of genius. Writing resoundingly current and accurate observations on society - our architecture, our desire for status - universal relevance of the human condition - all with engaging Machiavellian non-chalance.
