How to Think More About Sex

Part of the School of Life series, Alain de Botton’s short book treats sex as a subject worthy of calm, honest reflection rather than embarrassment or cliché. He examines desire, fidelity, rejection, and the gap between our fantasies and our relationships, arguing that most of us are far less alone in our confusions than we assume. Thoughtful and candid, it brings philosophy to a subject usually left unexamined.
