Is there a more inspiring contemporary philosopher than Alain de Bottom? What's your favorite work of his?

His best work is probably the Architecture one, then it's the Proust one. The philosophy stuff is a little meh.

Classic case of taking old philosophers and regurgitating them through the self-help filter to give your work credibility, even though he bastardizes the ideas of all the actual philosophers he references...
