Lessons From Our Mothers

Alain de Botton: “Children will smell their parents' compromises, neuroses - to force the parent towards maturity"


Listen Later

🌸This week, Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson are joined by  philosopher, bestselling author and founder of The School of Life, Alain de Botton. In this episode, Alain explores the complexity of a mother’s love, how our relationships with our mothers shape us as adults, and why parenting doesn’t require perfection - just being “good enough”.

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives. 

💬 Plus, hear from listener Lucy, who shares some of the most valuable lessons she’s taken from her mum!
