Théodore Zeldin

For the first issue of UNIT magazine, Charlie Koolhaas I talked with Theodore Zeldin, a philosopher, historian and President of the Oxford Muse. Zeldin’s history books focus on the role of the individual and of emotions in all aspects of life. His book on Happiness, his Intimate History of Humanity and his BBC lectures on Conversation explore the art of living, and his project on The Future of Work, attempts to define a new model of business. As part of our exploration of the concept of lifestyle, Charlie and I talked with Zeldin about the evolution of the term, its unseen potential, and how it might mutate in China.
