Alain de Botton, the philosopher & writer talks about what ‘success’ means to him, and how every one of us can be successful and become an Ordinary Genius.

Live.Better+ were inspired to create this video after listening to a very insightful Tim Ferris interview of Alain de Botton on Tim's podcast (see http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/11/1... ). The podcast is 2 hours long - but well worth your time if you enjoy this short vid - so check it out. The section where Tim asks Alain about success, was particularly insightful and we loved Alain's concept of an Ordinary Genius - enough to create this video.
