The art of travel

Alain De Botton

The Art of Travel is an unconventional travel handbook. Unlike traditional travel guides, Alain de Botton's book is more of a philosophical globetrotter's guidebook, analyzing the causes of our desire to visit new places while giving some basic travel suggestions. Although we are always given an overwhelming amount of travel information, few appear to discuss why we should go and how we may become happier by doing so. Alain de Botton's The Art of Travel investigates the purpose of travel and gently offers how we may learn to be a bit happier when traveling.
