The School of Life was founded in 2008 by Alain De Botton and other colleagues from the arts, education and cultural sectors.

None in particular. We provide a forum for exploring various life issues with like-minded people, fostering emotional intelligence through teachings from the humanities (literature, philosophy, psychology, history and art) and free from dogma. You can read more about us here.

We are used to the idea that books have a single author and that this author’s name is clearly identified on the spine and cover. However, at The School of Life, we have a different approach. We are a team: a group of psychologists, philosophers, sociologists and social scientists. Together we make up The School of Life’s content team, which puts out a huge amount of material every year: we make films, put on classes and conferences for the general public, offer training and seminars to businesses as well as producing gift and books.

When it comes to these books, they are a genuinely collective effort – and therefore, we don’t wish to highlight one author above another. The books we write are simply from ‘The School of Life’.

Please email [email protected] with some examples of your video work.

Please note we are not able to help with orders purchased from our retail partner websites. Please contact the retailer who you purchased The School of Life products or books from, and they will assist with your query. 

For any other queries, please contact [email protected]. Our customer service team works Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. We endeavor to answer emails within 3 working days. Please note emails are not monitored at the weekend.

Please use the drop-down menu in the top-right corner of our website to see information about our campuses outside the UK.

Because of the high volume of requests we receive, sadly we cannot respond to individual queries about international partnership. At the moment we are not looking for any new international branches, we will announce any new opportunities via our website and social media channels. Email [email protected] to hear about the ways to get involved.
