For those of you who have heard me waxing lyrical about the wonderful The School of Life but haven’t been able to sample any of the wisdom sessions in person, you’ll be pleased to know that they have condensed some big thoughts in a series of lovely little books. From the guru Alain de Botton and a host of other eclectic thinkers, you can pick up some fresh perspectives on sex, work, self, money, digital living  and changing the world.  They’ve also taken the show to the road with a live tour so catch a  date if you can.
