Essential Ideas: Self-Awareness - by The School of Life (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The School of Life's approach to self-awareness - in a pocket format.

In the second of a series of pocket books, The School of Life has distilled its most essential ideas on self-awareness in order to produce a bitesize manual that is both useful and entertaining.

Understanding ourselves is the key to unlocking our true potential. Here is a collection of The School of Life's most penetrating insights into the puzzles of self-awareness. By exploring key themes within the topic of self-knowledge, such as Emotional Intelligence, Anxiety, Normality, Pessimism and Self-sabotage, this book teaches us how to look into ourselves, how to make sense of our past, and how to overcome anxiety and confusion.

In a highly accessible form, The School of Life introduces us to a person we've been in flight from for too long and will benefit hugely from getting to know: our deep selves.

Pair with the Know Yourself Prompt Cards, designed to help lead you through the important task of knowing yourself a little better in life.
