Alain De Botton: How To Make Real Connections | GREAT MOMENTS

Alain De Botton: How To Make Real Connections | GREAT MOMENTS

Making connections and building relationships in the age of social media is hard. Many of us are having to relearn what it means to really click with another person, beyond the swipe culture of dating apps and the pressure to live up to the ‘perfect’ relationships we see online.


Alain De Botton is a modern-day philosopher who founded the School of Life to help people understand the aspects of life we don’t get taught at school.


In this Great Moment, he explains how love doesn’t just need closeness, it also needs distance, and how that space can help us better understand our partners.
