The Achitecture of Happiness is a dazzling & generously illustrated journey through the philosophy & psychology of architecture & the indelible connection between our identities & our locations. One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness & misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings, & streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. Alain de Botton starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, & argues that it is architecture's task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential
