Work protects people from the three great evils: boredom, sin, and want. How could I connect the act of making money with a sense of accomplishment in a work that was both painfully sad and ecstatic? What kind of success do I hope to achieve? How should I face my life? In this book, the British genius Alain de Botton examines the role of work, career, and personal hobbies in life with the perspective of a philosopher, and explores the little-known mysteries of various professions and the fun brought about by all kinds of incredible hobbies with the vivid writing style of a novelist and the sensitivity of a scholar. De Botton's new book may be seen as an "intertext" with the philosophical novel "Candide" (1759) by the 18th-century Enlightenment writer Voltaire. According to Voltaire, the world is far from perfect, and work can save people from three major evils: boredom, sin and lack. His protagonist Conrad said the truth recognized by many people: "It is more important to plant our garden." The years pass by in a hurry, like water, like shuttles, like floating clouds on the top of green mountains. 250 Years later, de Botton also has a deep affection for work, but his perspective has changed slightly, focusing more on the "joy and sorrow" brought by work. In his writing, although work and "sideline" hobbies are extremely challenging, have setbacks and hardships, they are the most enjoyable, lasting and beneficial fun in life. "Work can divert our attention, give us a beautiful bubble, let us be in it, and make life perfect." Work is life.

The creative source of the British hit TV series "Perfect Home" and the best model of life guide, with more than 200 pictures of buildings and artworks beautifully presented. This book is not a textbook-style history of Western architecture, nor is it an architectural appreciation manual or decoration guide. This latest work, written by de Botton over several years, examines from a very unique perspective a subject that seems familiar to us but is actually quite unfamiliar: the relationship between material architecture and our happiness. Why do people need buildings? Why does a certain kind of beautiful architecture please you? Why does this understanding of architectural beauty change? What is the connection between architecture and human happiness? De Botton's answers to these questions from the perspectives of philosophy, aesthetics and psychology are enough to subvert your daily clichés about architecture, and will prompt you to fundamentally change your established attitudes and pursuits towards architecture, and thus towards life and happiness.

De Botton's only work about the wisdom of religion calls on everyone to learn something from religion for their own use and to comfort their souls. The world invented religion out of two core needs. These two needs are endless and secular society has not yet been able to respond particularly effectively. First, although humans have deep-rooted selfish thoughts and violent impulses, we ultimately need to live harmoniously together in social groups; second, we need to deal with various pains in life, whether it is frustration in the workplace, troubles in interpersonal relationships, the loss of loved ones, or dying of old age. Human beings are too prone to disasters. God may be dead, but the burning questions that once prompted us to establish Him still linger and still demand solutions. One can certainly remain a staunch atheist, but one can also find that religion can be useful, interesting, and comforting from time to time. Each religion has its own way of preaching and preaching, improving morality, creating community spirit, using art and architecture, inspiring believers to travel far to seek the Dharma, tempering their thoughts and inspiring wisdom, motivating people to be grateful for the beauty of spring, etc. Even after the core teachings of religion are abandoned, many specific contents of religion still retain their beneficial significance, and we should draw nourishment from them without shame to enrich secular life outside the sect.
