Experiences

The School of Life isn’t just a place to learn; it is – just as importantly – a place to connect with people who are curious about emotional intelligence, interested in understanding themselves and eager to build meaningful and sincere friendships.

 

Introducing our new Experiences – a series of in-person events in London and New York that bring you together to talk, to explore your mind and to build connections with others in an atmosphere of play and psychological discovery.

Book Socials

Every few months, we invite anyone interested in The School of Life to gather in a bookshop (or, sometimes, another congenial venue) for the very best kind of social event: one in which we can discuss ideas, share thoughts and meet new people.
