What is The School of Life?
The School of Life is a global organisation devoted to teaching you how to lead a more fulfilled life. We offer insights in the key ingredients of emotional well-being: how to form good relationships, identify a satisfying career, minimise anxiety, acquire confidence and connect properly with friends.
All our services are available around the world in digital format - via books, films, articles, online classes and online psychotherapy.
Introducing Meaningful Gifts from The School of Life
Most gifts are either functional or pleasurable: cashmere socks, an elegant kind of hand towel, shortbread biscuits... But at The School of Life, we’re in the business of creating meaningful gifts — gifts that target our deepest needs and help us to build the more fulfilling kinds of existence that we all long for and deserve. Discover Meaningful Gifts — curated collections of books, games and wellbeing tools designed to change the lives of those we love the most.

Gifts under £12
A meaningful gift needn’t cost the earth — just as an expensive gift isn’t necessarily meaningful. We have a range of fulfilling gifts for under £12.
Gifts for Couples
The most meaningful gift we can give those we love is the gift of love itself. Our gifts for partners and couples teach ways of understanding and strengthening intimacy.
Gifts for Children
No one thinks more deeply about life’s big questions than the very young. Our gifts for children help them to understand philosophy, nature and their own emotions.
Gifts for Friends
Our friends deserve gifts as meaningful as the bond we share with them. Our gifts for friends are a way of honouring and deepening our dearest connections.
Gifts for Families
There’s no getting away from our families — and with the right tools, the time we spend with them can be deeply enriching. Our gifts help the whole family to understand each-other better.
