Alain de Botton – The News: A User’s Manual
The world's favourite know-it-all is heading to Sydney to drop some serious knowledge.
Overview
Alain de Botton has been changing the literary and modern-day philosophical landscape since he was 23, publishing books on every subject under the sun. He writes about the world, our place within it and how we interact with not only the environment but each other. He has delivered talks all over the world, including at the Opera House in 2012, discussing what and why we are the way we are. And he's coming back.
On March 29, Alain hits the Opera House with his new talk, 'The News: A Users Manual', based on his book of the same name. Among other things, he will discuss our relation to the news, why we find some things interesting, and other things not at all.
The news and the media are such huge parts of our lives and, in The News, Alain aims to demonstrate the how and why of our intense relationship them.
