Overview

A More Exciting Life

One of the things we all deeply crave, and all richly deserve, is a more exciting life. We know well enough that many things have to be routine, hard and a little bit boring. But we also rightly sense that, if only we can find a way, our lives could be rendered intermittently more joyful, intense, thrilling and beautiful.

This is a guide to the more exciting life we know could be ours. It isn’t about the outward things we might do: travel, parachute out of airplanes or learn a foreign language. This is a book of psychology and about how we can nurture a sense of inner liberation, accept our desires and aspirations and then have the courage to set ourselves free. Perhaps for too long we have resigned ourselves to things that aren’t fair or necessary, we have felt too constricted (and perhaps unloved) to communicate well with others and the proper expansion of our characters has been sacrificed for the sake of compliance.

The School of Life, Alain de Botton

The School of Life is a global organization that helps people lead more fulfilled lives. It is a resource for helping us understand ourselves and improve our relationships, careers, and social lives—as well as for helping us find calm and get more out of our leisure hours. They do this through films, workshops, books, and gifts and through a warm and supportive community. You can find The School of Life online, in stores, and welcoming spaces around the globe.

The School of Life Press was established in 2016 to bring together over a decade of research and insights from The School of Life’s content team. Led by founder and series editor Alain de Botton, this is a library to educate, entertain, console, and transform us.

Alain de Botton FRSL is a Swiss-born British author and public speaker. His books discuss contemporary subjects and themes, emphasizing philosophy's relevance to everyday life. He published Essays in Love, which sold two million copies.
