Alain de Botton (Part 2) - How to Deal with Jealousy and Keep Your Partner Faithful

In Part 2 of my interview with British-Swiss philosopher, Alain de Botton, we continue our conversation - which has since become one of my favorites - on all things love, extending into dating dynamics, dealing with jealousy, the confusing language of sex, and God&aposs role in all this.

Check out Part 1 here if you haven&apost already. It&aposs essential listening if you want to understand what makes a quality relationship that results in more love and less loneliness. (While you&aposre at it, listen to my conversation with Lynne Twist to hear how she&aposs maintained a happy marriage for 53 years.)

Alain de Botton is a philosopher and writer of essayistic books that have been described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life." He’s written on love, travel, architecture and literature. His books have been bestsellers in 30 countries and have sold millions of copies. Alain also started and helps to run a school in London called The School of Life, dedicated to a new vision of education. His latest book, published in September 2019, is a collection of essays written for The School of Life, titled The School of Life: An Emotional Education.
