The School of Life: Collected Essays: 15th Anniversary Edition

The School of Life is an organisation with a focused mission at its heart: to help foster calm, self-understanding and greater emotional maturity. Over 15 years, we have produced landmark essays on key topics, now gathered together for the first time. Among these, we find: • On Confidence : a guide to throwing off inhibition and shame in the name of a more free and creative life • Self-Knowledge : a method for knowing ourselves better in order to make optimal choices in love and work • Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person : a paradoxically hopeful and wry survey of the trials and joys of marriage In elegant and always clear prose, the essays take us on a tour around the central topics of emotional life, leaving us enlightened, calmer and readier to greet our inevitable challenges. The book amounts to nothing less than a concise compendium of some of the wisest things we’ll ever need to know. – ASIN: 1915087104 | ISBN13: 9781915087102 | ISBN-13: 978-1915087102
