I just re-listened to this TED talk by Alain de Botton. I can't remember if I raved about it the first time around, so let me do so again: it's fantastic. Incisive, funny, and includes several piercing critiques of some deeply-ingrained thinking on success.
Listen. Now. I dare you.
On a related note, I'm really looking forward to the (English!) release of his new book, Religion for Atheists. Perhaps it'll bring the 'beauty' angle to the current atheist vision? Dunno. Its release is still several months away.
