What was the event? Is it a talk accompanying a book or a talk tour?

It was a talk accompanying a book signing :) It is The school of life - An emotional education

I saw him in Berlin 2 years ago. He was quite entertaining but I also felt like he is a bit autistic. I did not like his “analysis” of love. I actually missed the whole emotional part. Or spiritual part for that matter. I might also be a little too romantic... 😄 (though I did like the fact that the whole idea of romanticism has just been marketed to us over the past few hundred years... 😄)

I had seen him 3 years ago at another book launch. I believe as any human he is transitioning on his beliefs. Last time was happily married and he talked about his wife, this time he spoke more about suffering and the fact that we are doomed to suffer 😂 I really like for example that he believes that art is somehow our salvation and we should spend more time in museums or dancing

Hm, that's true!
Yes, when I saw him I thought he must be a very difficult person to live with :D
Love Alain!
