The School of Life - What They Forgot to Teach You at School

• Hardback book, 144 pages
• Dimensions: 170 x 125 mm

• A collection of the essential emotional lessons we need in order to thrive
• We probably went to school for what felt like a very long time. We probably took care of our homework. Along the way, we surely learnt intriguing things about equations, the erosion of glaciers, the history of the Middle Ages, and the tenses of foreign languages. But why, despite all the lessons we sat through, were we never taught the really important things that dominate and trouble our lives: who to start a relationship with, how to trust people, how to understand one’s psyche, how to move on from sorrow or betrayal, and how to cope with anxiety and shame?

• The School of Life is an organisation dedicated to teaching a range of emotional lessons that we need in order to lead fulfilled and happy lives – and that schools routinely forget to teach us. This book is a collection of our most essential lessons, delivered with directness and humanity, covering topics from love to career, childhood trauma to loneliness. To read this book is to be invited to lead kinder, richer and more authentic lives – and to complete an education we began but still badly need to finish. This is homework to help us make the most of the rest of our lives.

Chapters include:
• You Don’t Need Permission
• Listen to the Adult Within
• Aim for Emotional Maturity
• There Is No Destination

The School of Life is an organisation built to help us find calm, self-understanding, resilience, and connection especially during troubled times. We place emphasis on the need to understand ourselves better, so that we can secure serenity and make optimally reliable decisions, particularly around love and work. Our ideas are divided into six key topics, that together contribute to the calmer, more resilient and self-aware lives we deserve: Self-Knowledge, Relationships, Work, Calm, Sociability, Leisure & Culture
