How Proust Can Change Your Life, by Alain de Botton

4.0

Another one of those books where I penciled in 4/5 stars but can't actually remember much about the book. What I do remember is an incredible warm feeling in regards to this book and a desire to re-read it. I think it featured little in the way of life-changing advice, and was more of a warm and humourous look at the way Proust lived, styled into a self-help guide of sorts. I think it also made me appreciate a slowed down life where you indulge your creative spirit rather than keep up with all the traffic around you. Also, as a person who appreciates a good dressing gown and idling in bed, this spoke to me on a very spiritual level :D
