Biography

Alain de Botton was born on December 20, 1969, in Zurich, Switzerland. He is the only son of Gilbert de Botton and Jacqueline Burgauer and has a sister named Miel. Alain grew up in Switzerland, where he became fluent in French and German. In 1981, his family relocated to London, where he received most of his education. He studied history at Cambridge University from 1988 to 1990 and earned a master's degree in philosophy at King's College between 1991 and 1992. His debut novel, *Essays In Love*, was published in 1993. Since then, he has authored numerous books focusing on what he terms "the philosophy of everyday life." His works have been widely praised, especially his best-known non-fiction book, *How Proust Can Change Your Life* (1997). Alain currently resides in London with his wife, Charlotte Neser, and their two young sons, Samuel and Saul. He frequently contributes to various English newspapers and gives lectures about his books. Additionally, he runs Seneca Productions, a production company that regularly produces documentaries inspired by his work.
