Alain de Botton's considerations on travel are a must-read for any restless traveler. He deconstructs the act of traveling, investigating its reasons and suggesting ways to improve the activity based on psychological and philosophical grounds. His easy writing style is really a pleasure, considering how dense and theoretical his approach is. Like in "How Proust Can Change Your Life", he analyzes the craft of artists and apply it to practical experiences, for a happier and more mindful life.
