A kinder, gentle philosophi of success

Alain Botton talks about his idea of success.

He thinks that our lives are regularly punctuated.

Now it's easy than never before to make a good living but it has never been that hard to live without stress and free of career anxiety. One of the reasons of that it's that we're living in a world full of snobs, people that only knows a part of you and with that he makes his own visions of who you are. Principally we found this phenomen of snobbery at the job. In our society most of people onoly care about our achievements, so then we care so much about our degrees.

Another idea he explains it's that he thinks that we are no particulary materialistic, because what we want of a material good it's the emotional reward it provides, with the impression that the others will have of us, and it's that what we want, not the materialistic goods.

Another reason that makes, nowadays,be calm harder than before it'senvy. We have envy because nowadays we have equallity. For Alain, the feeling of envy is strengthly linked to the spirit of equality.

OPINION:
Alain's point of view it's quite interesting. I agree specially with the idea that he proposes that says that nowadays it's so hard to live without stress, and in part also it's because of the society in that we life. It's a society full of snobs, and people that think that know you only for your appearances or only knowing a little part of your personality.
We live in a worls that only cares about our achievements and nothing more, and that had caused so many problems in a lot of persons because averyone wants to succeed and be accepted by the others.
