Description
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE · BOOK
The education you deserved but never received.
School spent years teaching us equations, the erosion of glaciers, and the tenses of foreign languages. But it forgot the things that actually run our lives: who to choose as a partner, how to trust people, how to move through grief, how to calm the anxious mind. What They Forgot to Teach You at School gathers The School of Life’s most essential emotional lessons in one honest, direct, and deeply human book — a gift for anyone who suspects their education isn’t quite finished yet.
144 pages of emotional intelligence — covering love, career, childhood trauma, loneliness, anxiety and shame. Hardback, 180 × 125 mm. Category: Self-Knowledge. Recommended by therapists. Available as hardback, audiobook and ebook.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Who is this book the right gift for?
For anyone navigating a difficult relationship, a career transition, persistent anxiety, or the weight of a complicated childhood — in other words, for almost anyone. It works especially well for people in their late twenties to fifties who are thoughtful about how they live but haven’t found a single book that takes their inner life seriously. One therapist describes it as “easy to read, entertaining AND insightful” — and recommends it regularly to clients.
What exactly does the book teach?
The School of Life covers the territory that school never touched: how to choose a partner wisely, how to build genuine trust, how to understand your own psyche, how to move on from sorrow or betrayal, and how to live with anxiety and shame rather than being ruled by them. Topics span love, career, childhood trauma and loneliness — treated with the directness and clarity The School of Life is known for.
What are the chapter titles?
Chapters include “You Don’t Need Permission”, “Listen to the Adult Within”, “Aim for Emotional Maturity”, and “There Is No Destination” — each a complete lesson in itself, written to be read in a single sitting and returned to when needed.
Can I order this book as a corporate gift?
What They Forgot to Teach You at School makes a thoughtful and genuinely useful gift for teams, clients or colleagues — particularly for wellbeing programmes, onboarding sets, or year-end gifting.
