As I considered the importance of language and how human beings interact with the world, it struck me that in many ways the development of language was like the discovery of fire – it was such an incredible primordial force. I had always thought that we used language to describe the world – now I was seeing that this is not the case. To the contrary, it is through language that we create the world, because it’s nothing until we describe it. And when we describe it, we create distinctions that govern our actions. To put it another way, we do not describe the world we see, but we see the world we describe.

Have you married the wrong person?

I've said it before and I'll say it again .. I love Alain de Botton .. I love his grounded wisdom, practical insights and well placed humour.

Isn't it true? .. especially in a culture that promotes romanticism as much as ours does .. that we will one moment wake up to our partner and wonder what the hell we were thinking when we thought they were the most marvellous creature we had ever met?! Were we blind? Did they trick us?

It's in moments like this that it's really good to be able to turn to de Botton and gain proper perspective. 


For a few years I have been weaving his work into my trainings. The combination of perspective and how we communicate our hurts and frustrations to significant others turns out to be an incredibly powerful combo.

I thoroughly enjoy the 2 questions below that de Botton humorously asks the audience:


How many of you in the room feel that, on balance, you have married the wrong person?

Does anyone in this room think they're easy to live with?

WHY YOU WILL MARRY THE WRONG PERSON

Wondering about registering for my Hollyhock program next week? As Jaworski says in the quote in the column to the left, language is "an incredible primordial force." As such, it's vital to our well being that we learn to communicate well. 

Hear from some of the folk who attended last year:
