Tools for the Young Mind: Philosophical Ideas - The School of Life

The School of Life created Tool for the Young Mind, in which they take their books to another level, giving teachers and parents tools to interact about the subject of their books. 

Philosophy, meaning ‘love of wisdom’, is a vital discipline for understanding the world.

No stage in our development is more crucial than childhood. It’s during our early years that we form our passions, our personality and our understanding of the world and our place within it. Childhood sets the course of our adult lives.
