Thinkers and greats

Great thinkers (School of Life series) by Alain de Botton ... this book is like a "law" for the School of Life. It is a presentation of people from different eras who contributed to shaping our cultural project, and we will consider that we have succeeded in our pursuit, in the coming days and years, if you find yourself, dear reader, returning to these ideas to help you shed light on what you find in your daily life of dilemmas, sorrows, and joys. The "School of Life" is a pioneering project that offers good ideas for daily life; it addresses matters such as how to find a job that provides you with satisfaction and fulfillment, how to master the art of romantic relationships, and how you can reach a better understanding of the world... through courses, therapy sessions, books, and films. The project is based in London, with branches in Melbourne, Paris, Amsterdam, São Paulo, Istanbul, Belgrade, Antwerp, and Seoul. The "School of Life" aims to develop emotional intelligence, with the help of culture, believing that many of our problems stem from a lack of understanding of ourselves, and weakness in empathy and communication with others. We operate through ten schools around the world, produce films, and organize training courses. The School of Life series publishes books on the most important topics of cultural and emotional life... These are books designed for enjoyment and learning.
