The consolations of philosophy by Alain de Botton
Alan Bottom is a retard.
Read Lord Chesterfield's Letters. The Prince and The Book of the Courtier are good for that too. Maybe Madame de Sevigny's letters if you need more.

Book of the Courtier I loved when I read it back in school, from the way it was framed to the dialogues. Got completely pseudo nostalgic for a time, and for a level of culture, I would never experience. That such persons existed!
Works and days is all you need my man.
