Jonathan Rowson
I have been a big fan of Alain De Botton for a number of years, and have enjoyed many of his books. As an undergraduate I was excited by the very title 'How Proust can Change your Life', before I had even heard of 'Prooost', and I remember a diagram on the improbability of a couple meeting on an aeroplane, I think in 'Essays in Love', that made me ponder the idea of fate more deeply than I ever had before. I am also a fan of The School of Life, which he inspired, and broadly support his considerable efforts to make philosophy, non-academically conceived, more engaging, accessible, and, frankly, enjoyable.
