The School of Life

Most of us are taught how to make a living, but not necessarily how to live. That's the question at the heart of The School of Life. Founded by philosopher Alain de Botton, the organisation has built a global following by exploring everything from relationships and work to confidence, creativity and emotional wellbeing, translating complex ideas into practical, everyday wisdom.

Drawing on psychology, philosophy, psychotherapy, art and culture, The School of Life approaches life's biggest questions with curiosity rather than certainty. Its books have become modern classics for readers looking to better understand themselves and the people around them, tackling subjects that rarely come with straightforward answers.

Alongside its acclaimed titles, The School of Life's card sets, conversation prompts and reflective tools offer new ways to spark discussion, encourage self-discovery and bring a little more thoughtfulness to everyday life.
