Why We Choose Unhealthy Partners | ALAIN DE BOTTON THROWBACK

Why We Choose Unhealthy Partners | ALAIN DE BOTTON THROWBACK

Happy New Year’s Eve!


As we get ready for a new year, I wanted to revisit one of my all-time favourite episodes of Great Company with the incredible Alain de Botton.


I’ve been lucky enough to sit down with Alain not once, but twice on the show and every time I speak to him, I come away feeling calmer, a little wiser and thinking about life in a new way.


I keep coming back to this episode because every time I do, I take something new from it. Alain’s insights into human connection, love and emotional growth are fascinating. They’ve shaped how I think about my relationships, my friendships and what it really means to grow into the best version of ourselves.


We cover:

  • How to navigate heartbreak
  • Why our childhood is so informative on the rest of our lives
  • Why funny people often have sad parents
  • How attachment styles and past experiences can shape the way we love
  • What actually is the meaning of life


This conversation is a gentle reminder that becoming a “new you” often starts with understanding the old one.


Alain De Botton is Great Company.
