HOW TO LEAD A MORE EXCITING LIFE
We know well enough that many things in life have to be routine, hard and a little bit boring. But we also rightly sense that, if only we can find a way, our lives could be rendered intermittently more joyful, thrilling and beautiful.
“Life-changing content and perspectives. I’ve followed the School of Life for years and subscribed to their app in the last few months/year. It’s been a game changer, their courses specifically.”
WHAT IS TRAUMA AND HOW TO COPE WITH IT
Trauma is the result of our inability to process a distressing experience. It's much more common than we might imagine … and requires a patient examination of our past to overcome.
“It’s like learning life all over again, this time with the right input. My world has been improved in more ways than I can count by being a School of Life member.”
WHAT MAKES A GOOD FRIEND
In this episode of our new podcast, Alain de Botton and John Armstrong explore our longings for friendship and the painful sense that we frequently don’t quite have the friends we would like.
“Having access to high quality, fresh content daily has slowed me to switch from reaching for mindless social media scrolling to opening this app instead. That’s allowed me to engage my mind and spirit in worthwhile pursuits.”
WHY DATING APPS WON'T HELP YOU FIND LOVE
For most of human history, relationships were relatively simple for a banal yet immovable reason: it was extremely hard to meet anyone acceptable – and everyone knew it.
“The School of Life articles are thoughtful, profound, interesting, and very, very original. They are so beautifully written, and so honest, they’ve helped me in many ways.”
