What They Forgot To Teach You At School: Essential emotional lessons needed to thrive
by Alain de Botton Author and Andrei Verioti Author
Why, despite all the lessons we sat through in school, were we never taught the really important things that dominate and trouble our lives: who to start a relationship with, how to trust people, how to understand one’s psyche, how to move on from sorrow or betrayal, and how to cope with anxiety and shame? The School of Life is dedicated to teaching a range of emotional lessons that we need in order to lead fulfilled and happy lives – and that schools routinely forget to teach us. Lead kinder, richer, and more authentic lives – and complete an education we began but still badly need to finish. This is homework to help us make the most of the rest of our lives.
