The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain de Botton returns the study of logic and the intellect to its origins. Taking cues from six of the greatest thinkers in history—Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche—he talks on fear, conformity, poverty, inadequacy, and the anguish of love. One reviewer referred to philosophy as "the new rock and roll" after reading De Botton's work.
