I interviewed Alain de Botton, a philosopher and writer who has
turned personal pain into universal wisdom. He's written dozens of
books and built The School of Life into a YouTube channel with
nearly 10 million subscribers, but the thing that makes him unique
is that he approaches writing as a form of emotional archaeology.
We talked about why good writing requires suffering, why loneliness
is essential to the creative process, and how writing is actually a
form of revenge. He also shared his approach to writer's block and
why he believes the pressure is on us creatives to deepen our
self-exploration. If you want to understand how to write with
emotional honesty and create work that genuinely connects with
people, this conversation will show you a completely different way
to think about the craft. Enjoy! Hey! I’m David Perell and I’m a
writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of
the biggest opportunities in the world today. For the first time in
human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global
audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing
online as possible. Follow me Apple:
