Ah, I see that this is by the terrible "The School of Life". They constantly produce videos that claim to have distilled philosophical works into something practical for everyday life. They often give bad advice alongside comforting you that those grapes you couldn't reach were sour anyways. There are many critiques of this company, but I've linked a critique here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0uKnF_6E0Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0uKnF_6E0Q

That video is unimpressive. It "takes down" SoL for not being athiest, for not being liked by the "real" philosophers at http://reddit.com/r/philosophy http://reddit.com/r/philosophy , and for giving practical advice on how to live a good life instead of constructing abstract metaphysical theories of the Universe.

Their stuff really helped me deal with my depression. As academic philosophy, it might be crap, I don't know. Nor do I care. As practical advice for someone struggling through mental health issues, SoL is awesome.
