THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The essential guide to how to live wisely and well in the twenty-first century - from Alain de Botton, the bestselling author of The Consolations of Philosophy, The Art of Travel and The Course of Love
This is an audiobook about everything you were never taught at school. It's about how to understand your emotions, find and sustain love, succeed in your career, fail well and overcome shame and guilt. It's also about letting go of the myth of a perfect life in order to achieve genuine emotional maturity. Written in a hugely accessible, warm and humane style, The School of Life is the ultimate guide to the emotionally fulfilled lives we all long for - and deserve.
This audiobook brings together ten years of essential and transformative research on emotional intelligence, with practical topics including:
- how to understand yourself
- how to master the dilemmas of relationships
- how to become more effective at work
- how to endure failure
- how to grow more serene and resilient

Panacea to suffering in modern world
Personally I found the book very helpful and insighful. It helped me understand myself better and It helped me others better. Afeterall how we emotionally feel about life and people is what matters most and this book educates us on that front and in a way helps us to learn this skill of gradually calibrating our emotional responses. overall I give it 4 stars because listening to an audiobook comes with severe limitation and that is that you cannot highlight and make a note of the key takeaways. So in case of an audiobook it is questionable as to what you finally retain at the end of the book.
