The School of Life – What They Forgot to Teach You at School

What They Forgot to Teach You at School, published by The School of Life.

School teaches academic subjects at length and says almost nothing about the things that actually dominate adult life: trust, grief, betrayal, anxiety, shame and how to be in a relationship. This collection of short, direct essays, covering everything from love and career to childhood trauma and loneliness, is meant as the homework that was left out. A practical top-up to a standard education, aimed at readers who want a bit more self-knowledge and emotional footing.
