Ideas to live by

The School of Life is an unusual London shop that sidesteps common consumerism in favor of peddling ideas, culture, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. ?We?ve organised the shop as a chemist for the mind, a place where you can try out a variety of cultural solutions to everyday ailments. We sell books, artworks, courses, holidays and therapeutic services.? They also offer lectures by philosophers, conversation dinners, and access to a panel of experts on subjects from activism to wild swimming ? which, it turns out, is about swimming in Britain?s lakes and rivers, not splashing around madly in the local pool.
