Alain de Botton: Ten Virtues for the Modern Age

Over at The School Of Life, Alain de Botton posted the 10 virtues for modern life and while this is a response to his latest book Religion for Atheists, I personally think it is a great list for all, young and old, religious and atheist.

1.   Resilience
2.   Empathy
3.   Patience
4.   Sacrifice
5.   Politeness
6.   Humour
7.   Self-awareness
8.   Forgiveness
9.   Hope
10. Confidence
