Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

I discovered Alain de Botton about 10 years and he is my favourite philosopher of all time. I'm absolutely addicted to his works, and may the world take note of what he says. He knows how to speak to the hearts and minds of contemporary societies, at a time when philosophy has taken a back seat to what the media tells us to think.

I made groans of agreement throughout. Beautifully spoken advice for during and past this pandemic. Everyone wants to be loved but different acts of love would suffice. Perfect parenting is not needed as it shows the children of the imperfect world. Parenting should be done with the best effort, but with the recognition and humility that perfection is not the goal.
