In his new book, Art as Therapy (Phaidon), written in collaboration with philosophical art historian John Armstrong, De Botton introduces a new method of interpreting art, one that argues that certain great works offer clues on managing the tensions and confusions of everyday life. Renowned Swiss-born popular philosopher and essayist Alain de Botton believes art has relevance in answering some of our most intimate and ordinary dilemmas: Why is my work not satisfying? Why do other people seem to have a more glamorous life? How can I improve my relationships? We often hear that art is important, but we're seldom told exactly why.
