Know Yourself in a Day With Alain de Botton

A One-Day Festival on Self-Knowledge Led by Alain de Botton

One of the most striking features of our minds is how little we understand them.

At The School of Life, we believe this lack of self-knowledge is very often what stands between us and greater fulfillment – a relationship that will bring us joy, a job that motivates us each morning, or a wiser approach to those situations where we seem to keep making the same familiar, frustrating errors.

Our festival on self-knowledge is for anyone who wishes to explore – as part of a curious, like-minded community – what truly interests, motivates and excites them, as well as what lies behind some of their most important fears, anxieties, and sorrows.
