The School of Life: An Emotional Education

<b>Discover everything you were never taught at school about how to lead a better life...</b><br /><br /><b>Introduced and edited by the bestselling author of <i>The Consolations of Philosophy, The Art of Travel </i>and <i>The Course of Love</i></b><br /><br />We spend years in school learning facts and figures but the one thing we're never taught is how to live a fulfilled life. That's why we need The School of Life - a real organisation founded ten years ago by writer and philosopher Alain de Botton. The School of Life has one simple aim: to equip people with the tools to survive and thrive in the modern world. And the most important of these tools is emotional intelligence.<br /><br />This book brings together ten years of essential and transformative research on emotional intelligence, with practical topics including:<br /><br />- how to understand yourself<br />- how to master the dilemmas of relationships<br />- how to become more effective at work <br />- how to endure failure<br />- how to grow more serene and resilient<br /><br /><i>The School of Life</i> is nothing short of a crash course in emotional maturity. With all the trademark wit and elegance of Alain de Botton's other writings, and rooted in practical, achievable advice, it show us a path to the better lives we all want and deserve.
