"The School of Life explica ideias antigas e importantes de um jeito simples, trazendo a filosofia de volta às suas raízes – como fonte de esclarecimento e cura para nossas aflições diárias". — The Atlantic

Esta é uma coletânea de algumas das ideias mais importantes encontradas na obra dos filósofos, teóricos políticos, sociólogos, artistas e romancistas que acreditamos ter mais a nos oferecer nos dias de hoje.

Trabalhamos muito para tornar a visão desses pensadores clara, relevante e envolvente, e garimpamos a história do conhecimento para trazer a você as ideias que consideramos mais significativas para o nosso tempo.

Este livro contém o cânone de The School of Life, a galeria das pessoas que, ao longo dos milênios, ajudaram a construir nosso projeto intelectual.

Podemos nos considerar bem-sucedidos se, nos dias e anos que virão, você se flagrar recorrendo a nossos pensadores para esclarecer os dilemas, as alegrias e as tristezas da sua vida cotidiana.

Livro lindo e de conteúdo de grande qualidade. Muitos irão se decepcionar com o jeito que o autor aborda os pensadores. É como um livro de auto-ajuda disfarçado de enciclopédia. Ele, na introdução, já afirma que é enviesado e que aborda os pensadores olhando apenas pelo viés prático, ou seja, dá pequenas doses de pensamentos destes autores, visando oferecer soluções práticas para a vida cotidiana no século XXI.
Não espere capítulos bem detalhados ou um panorama geral, mas sim a resolução de probleminhas como:
Como ser feliz no trabalho? Quais os segredos da felicidade? Como ser menos ansioso?
É um livro bom, mas pode desapontar os leitores mais críticos.

O livro descreve, resumidamente, as ideias e passagens da vida de grandes expoentes em suas áreas específicas. E nos induz a ler suas obras, mas infelizmente o tempo não nos permitirá alcançar esse objetivo e não podemos deixar de apreciar as mariposas, como bem salientou Virgínia Woolf.
