Alain de Botton writes about status anxiety – which I think is something that theatre artists deal with more than most people – due to the fickle, poorly paid and transient work we make.
That photo is pretty fun.

It reminds me that even super star philosophers love to be directed by me… and have a fun side… and don’t take themselves too seriously – nor should any of us. Plus de Botton talks extensively about the value of arts in a secular society as works of emotional elevation and consolation (mood enhancers).

Also I was wondering how Alain de Botton was going to figure in… 😛
