TOOLS FOR THINKING A Guide To Thoughtful Giving
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
Developing Emotional Intelligence The School of Life is a global organisation dedicated to developing emotional intelligence. We apply psychology, philosophy, and culture to everyday life by exploring life’s big questions. How can we fulfil our potential? Can work be inspiring? Why does community matter? Should relationships last a lifetime? We don’t have all the answers, but we’ll direct you towards a variety of useful ideas that are guaranteed to stimulate, provoke, nourish and console.
The School of Life has been working closely with some of the world’s leading brands and companies for several years in the area of business services. Alongside professional development and our in-house creative consultancy, we also offer corporate gifting and bespoke product design.
Good thinking requires good tools. To complement our classes, books, and videos, The School of Life offer a range of stationery, homeware and gift products that are highly useful and stimulating for the eye and mind. We design our books, games, notebooks and much more in the United Kingdom and ship around the world.

We’ve created a range of exquisite notebooks in honour of the world’s brightest minds from different disciplines. This set of three notebooks has one book of each; plain, grid and lined paper.

20 Aphorisms
15 Minute Timer
£20.00
£20.00
Aphorisms are short, pithy statements designed to provoke a thrill of recognition at valuable, amusing, dark and perhaps awkward truths.
Our lives are so busy and frenetic; we are always forgetting to make time for what matters. The 15 minute glass timer doesn’t tell you what exactly to do with its allotted time. It just delicately shames us into doing what really counts.
