About the book

Alain de Botton, founder of The School of Life, gives an answer to the "What is the sensor artist John Armstrong?" A fascinating and accessible book with 150 examples of the therapeutic value of art, architecture and design. De Botton states that the origin of a painting is not important, but the emotion it calls. On the basis of the themes of love, nature, money and politics, he shows how these art objects can guide, admonish and comfort us. How art can help us become a better version of ourselves. This book gives us a deeper understanding of art and of ourselves.
