In the constant search for happiness, philosopher Alain de Botton believes that we should all learn to be a bit more pessimistic.
In this secular sermon, Alain challenges the great bourgeois promise that everyone can find happiness in love and work and suggests that we take on the joys of pessimism instead. He argues that the chances of anyone succeeding in both areas (let alone in one) are extremely remote – and that it is therefore peculiar, and deeply cruel, to base our societies around these values. Indeed, in denying a place for misery and despair, the modern world denies us the possibility of collective consolation, condemning us instead to solitary feelings of shame and persecution.
Alain de Botton is the author of numerous essayistic books that have been described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life.’ For more information, visit his website at: alaindebotton.com
This secular sermon took place at Conway Hall, London on 22 March 2009

Book Culture, an independent bookstore in Manhattan, recently ran a series of posters juxtaposing the covers of literary classics by Jules Verne, George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley with images depicting iconic moments in history – that had been in some way imagined by those writers decades earlier. Using the tagline Imagination Got There First, the posters highlight how the limitlessness of the writer’s imagination can sometimes predict the future.
The Imagination Got There First campaign was developed at Y&R New York by chief creative officer Jim Elliott, senior art director Eduardo Quadra, copywriter Paul Michael Wood, art director Mihail Aleksandrov, executive director of content production Letitia Jacobs, art content producer Cindy Pardy and creative retoucher Raul Pardo. Photography was from Getty Images and Corbis.
National Autistic Society in the UK launched “Sensory Overload”, an inspirational film designed to raise awareness for National Autism Awareness Month. The film opens on a dripping tap, a hollow echo which becomes an intolerable racket when combined with a barking dog, a siren, an animated mug, ticking clock, television cartoon show, a tapping foot. If that wasn’t enough the patterns on the wall and clock join to create an overwhelming visual collage of movement. The film cuts to Chile, a teenage boy with autism suffering silently at the table.
Please note before watching that this film is intended to simulate sensory overload and so features loud, repetitive noises.

The Sensory Overload film was developed at The News by creative director/copywriter and art director Kit Dayaram, creatives Stine Hole Mankovsky and Oli Kellett, working with Dave Boorman, head of supporter fundraising at NAS.
Filming was shot by director Steve Cope via Rattling Stick with director of photography Clive Norman, producer Kate Taylor, production manager Charlie Lodder, location manager Toby Haak, production designer Stef Grieve, makeup artist Bev Pond-Jones and costume stylist Lydia Kovacs.
Editor was Izzy King at Stitch Editing. Visual effects were produced at Electric Theatre Collective by producer Lee Pavey, Lead Flame artist Taran Spear, Flame assist Ana Sigüenza, CG team Jonathan Topf and Julien Soulange, and colourist Aubrey Woodiwiss.
Sound was produced by Munzie Thind at Grand Central.
What is it about cooking bacon that makes it smell so good? The Reactions team puts its nose into everyone’s favorite breakfast food. We teamed up with the Compound Interest blog to break down the science of that sweet smell.

Turns out there are about 150 volatile organic compounds that contribute to bacon’s meaty aroma, many of them hydrocarbons and aldehydes, with some nitrogen-containing compounds thrown in for good measure.

Massive wildfires cost billions of dollars and burn millions of acres in the U.S. every year, but we know surprisingly little about the basic science of how they spread. At the Fire Lab in Missoula, Montana, researchers reverse-engineer spreading fires using wind tunnels, fire-whirl generators, and giant combustion chambers. They’re finding that fire is a mysterious phenomenon, and the physics behind it is often counter-intuitive.
