Titles in this Set: 1. A Therapeutic Journey - Lessons From The School of Life 2. The School of Life - An Emotional Education Description: A Therapeutic Journey - Lessons From The School of Life A healthy mind knows how to hope, hanging on tenaciously to the reasons to keep going. A healthy mind resists unfair comparisons, not allowing others’ successes to throw it off course. A healthy mind avoids catastrophic imaginings, distinguishing worries of what could happen from what likely will. Just as there is no such thing as a human being who will never become physically ill, there is no human who will go their whole life without becoming mentally unwell. But recognising ourselves when we’re well can do a lot to help us identify what can go awry. Written with his signature kindness and empathy, this book is Alain de Botton’s practical guide to caring for our mental health – from the acts of self-care in which we find respite to the help which psychotherapy can bring... The School of Life - An Emotional Education This is a book 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.
