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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo complementary reads covering practical self-help and broader emotional philosophy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a respected psychotherapist and a bestselling philosopher\/founder of The School of Life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, accessible chapters ideal for busy readers, therapy clients or classroom discussion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers key life skills: relationships, resilience, self-understanding and emotional intelligence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift set for anyone interested in mindfulness, personal growth or popular psychology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback condition, perfect for personal libraries or thoughtful gifting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilippa Perry is a UK-based psychotherapist and writer whose columns have appeared in The Guardian, The Observer and Psychologies Magazine; she is also known for her graphic novel Couch Fiction.
