The School of Life: an Emotional Education
The School of Life: an Emotional Education | Alain de Botton, The School Of Life
3 posts | 1 read | 2 reading | 5 to read
Emotional intelligence affects every aspect of the way we live, from romantic to professional relationships, from our inner resilience to our social success. It is the ultimate soft skill of the twenty-first century. Drawing on his work in the hugely successful School of Life organisation, Alain de Botton presents a compendium of emotional intelligence. Using his trademark mixture of analysis, anecdote, insight and practical wisdom, he considers how we interact with each and with ourselves, and how we can do so better. From the reigning master of popular philosophy, this is an essential look at the skill set that defines our modern lives.

"Our whole assessment of the world can be transformed according to how much water we have drunk or sleep we have had."

And let's not even mention how I turn into somebody else if I have not eaten enough lately ;)

It's been a while since I bought myself a new book. I saw this one at work today and it intrigued me right away, so I decided to get it :)
Been crocheting so much lately, I pretty much spend all my money on yarn 😅
