This book by Alain de Botton came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: guest. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“it's called on love this guy named alan de botton no it's funny and it's beautiful and shocking that he wrote it when he was very young”— guest
The guest here is Sarma Melngailis: Chef and restaurateur behind NYC raw-vegan restaurant Pure Food and Wine and the One Lucky Duck brand. She became the subject of Netflix's Bad Vegan after pleading guilty to fraud and serving four months at Rikers Island. Sarma Melngailis tells Lex Fridman her side of the Bad Vegan story, framing the fraud and prison as the result of psychological capture by a manipulator.
