The #1 international bestseller. By one of the most important voices in modern philosophy, author of Love Lessons, The Consolations of Philosophy, and  The School of Life,
The Architecture of Happiness explores the fascinating, hidden connections between the buildings we inhabit and our long-term well-being.
What makes a house truly beautiful? Why are so many new homes so ugly? Why do we have such heated debates over sofas and paintings? Can differences in taste and preference be satisfactorily resolved?
To answer these questions and many others, de Botton looks at buildings around the world, from medieval log cabins to modern skyscrapers. He examines sofas and cathedrals, tea sets and office complexes, and then articulates a series of philosophical insights that are often surprising. The Architecture of Happiness will take you on a fascinating journey through the history and philosophy of architecture and interior design, and will change the way you see your own home.
"Charming and witty, full of wonderful ideas expressed in a joyful, beautiful way."

"Alain de Botton talks about big, complex subjects and writes about them with a deceptively intelligent innocence."
