This two-book collection by Alain de Botton brings together A Therapeutic Journey and The School of Life: An Emotional Education, each focused on understanding emotions and developing psychological maturity. Written in an accessible, warm style, the set explores practical ways to approach mental and emotional life with greater clarity and kindness.

A Therapeutic Journey looks at how to optimise mental health, considering a range of challenges from mild to severe. It examines anxiety and low moods, the influence of the past, and the role of resilience in living wisely alongside ongoing difficulties. The School of Life: An Emotional Education turns to the lessons not typically taught at school, from sustaining love and navigating work to handling failure, shame, and guilt, while questioning the myth of a perfect life.

Synopses

A Therapeutic Journey

This book explores how to optimise mental health through a practical approach to emotional wellbeing, calm, and psychological maturity. It considers why anxiety and low moods can arise, how the past can shape us, and how resilience can be developed to live wisely alongside certain difficulties. Its focus is on finding equilibrium and meaning, and moving towards connection and joy.

The School of Life: An Emotional Education

This book addresses the emotional skills many people were never taught at school, including understanding emotions, sustaining love, and approaching career success. It also considers how to fail well, overcome shame and guilt, and let go of the idea of a perfect life in favour of genuine emotional maturity. The book draws together ten years of research on emotional intelligence and covers topics such as self-understanding, relationship dilemmas, effectiveness at work, enduring failure, and becoming more serene and resilient.
