擁抱似水年華

De Botton connects Proust’s work to modern self-improvement, but I wonder what made him choose this approach to make Proust's philosophy accessible today.

The blend of biography and philosophy added a personal touch, but I’m curious whether others felt it enhanced or distracted from the main ideas.

The chapters seem thoughtfully organized — I wonder if the structure was designed to mirror Proust’s own explorations or evolved during writing.
