This 2-book paperback set pairs two trusted voices in self-help and philosophy: Philippa Perry's How to Stay Sane and Alain de Botton's The School of Life: An Emotional Education. Together they offer a practical toolkit for understanding emotions, improving relationships and building lasting resilience. Ideal for anyone starting a journey into mindfulness or self-reflection, this set is approachable and genuinely useful, whether read cover to cover or dipped into as needed.

About the Book(s)
How to Stay Sane, part of the acclaimed School of Life series, distils psychotherapist Philippa Perry's experience into four practical "cornerstones" for stability: self-observation, relating well to others, stepping outside your comfort zone, and redefining who you are. Drawing on neuroscience and case studies, it's a compact, reassuring guide for readers navigating stress or change. The School of Life: An Emotional Education, founded on de Botton's belief that schooling neglects our most important skill, gathers a decade of research from The School of Life into one handbook. Written with clarity and gentle wit, it covers love, career, failure, shame and the pursuit of a meaningful life, offering emotional lessons most of us were never taught. Together, Perry's therapist's-eye approach and de Botton's broader philosophical survey give readers both practical tools and a wider framework for lifelong growth, in the accessible style The School of Life is known for.
