What is success?

(AN ADVANCED LISTENING LESSON)

What does success mean to you? And have you ever wondered where you ideas about success actually come from?

This week, we are examining our ideas about success, what influences them, and whether we ought to reconsider them altogether.

The lesson is based on two talks by the philosopher, Alain de Botton.

The first is from The School of Life’s YouTube channel: What is ‘success’?

The second is a TED Talk by De Botton: A kinder, gentler philosophy of success

I really hope you enjoy this lesson.

See you in the classroom!
