The Stack

The library and the projection room.

The Consolations of Philosophy
Alain de Botton
Six philosophers assigned to six ordinary miseries — unpopularity, not enough money, a broken heart. Philosophy doing useful work for once.
Picked up Jul 2026

Bruno Munari
Munari arguing that the everyday object deserves the same seriousness as the gallery piece. Short chapters, sharp eye — a designer explaining how to see.
