A School of Life video arguing that everyone marries someone who is somewhat wrong for them, and that this is unavoidable. It is a four-minute version of an essay by Alain de Botton.
HN points to it as the short cliff's-notes version of the essay and as a charming introduction to The School of Life.
“If you want the cliff's notes, his School of Life channel has a shorter version [1].”
