The School of Life

Founded in 2008 in London by Alain de Botton, The School of Life is an educational organization that lends advice on life's biggest questions. The company believes that finding fulfillment begins with self-knowledge. They've developed a range of resources for individuals to improve their relationships, careers, social lives, and, of course, themselves. Part of The School of Life's offering consists of design-oriented stationary, homegoods, and card packs on the theme of emotional intelligence. Beautiful, entertaining, and thought-provoking, they make the perfect gift for oneself and others.
