Great thinkers

Author's name: Alan de Botton Publisher: Dar Al Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2022 Literary classification: Biographies and Memoirs Brief about the book: The book "Great Thinkers" includes a group of the most important thinkers who left a mark on our lives; we review in it ideas derived from the works of philosophers, political theorists, sociologists, artists, and writers whom we see as having much to offer us today. 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 endeavor in the coming days and years if you, dear reader, find yourself returning to these ideas to help shed light on what you encounter 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 brings you satisfaction and fulfillment, how to master the art of romantic relationships, and how to 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 through 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.
