The School of Life
The School of Life is a British organization founded in 2008 by Alain de Botton and collaborators, dedicated to fostering emotional intelligence and personal development through psychology, philosophy, and the arts. Its notable works include books such as "The School of Life: An Emotional Education," with impact evidenced by a global presence and wide readership.
Biografia e Jornada do Autor
The School of Life emerged in 2008 not as a single author but as a collaborative educational venture founded by Swiss-born British philosopher Alain de Botton alongside colleagues from the arts, education, and cultural sectors, including curator Sophie Howarth and a group of psychotherapists, artists, and educators. What began as an institute dedicated to understanding and improving emotional intelligence in London has evolved into a British multinational social media company and publishing house that addresses life's most pressing psychological and philosophical questions. The organization's creation represented a turning point in making therapeutic and philosophical wisdom accessible to a general audience, departing from academic traditions to speak directly to everyday struggles with anxiety, relationships, work, and meaning.
