The School of Life's Happy, Healthy Minds is a children’s guide to emotional wellbeing. A read for kids aged 9 and up, but even more for the parent. Written for your child, but it may provide insight in the thoughts kids may have. And a language to talk about it with them.

This is a guide designed to help children (and their parents) become more aware of their emotional needs and examines a range of topics that might give their minds difficulties, for example:

  • When parents don't seem to understand us
  • When we are finding it hard to make friends
  • When we feel angry, anxious or lack confidence
  • When school feels boring or difficult

It explores a range of common scenarios encountered by children and talks about some of the very best ideas to help deal with them. By offering a sympathetic and supportive framework, Happy, Healthy Minds encourages children to open up, explore their feelings and face the dilemmas of growing up armed with emotional intelligence.

The School of LIfe x Misc Store Amsterdam

Alain de Botton founded The School of Life in 2008. His aim was to make philosophy — long seen as the inaccessible, inauthentic stuff of academies and archives — a functional aspect of modern life. The care with which ancient philosophers thought about their lives remains a valuable antidote to the generalised anxiety of our era.

The school thus posits that ideas of Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics are as relevant to us today as they were in ancient Greece. Even if Epicurus never had social media burnout, understanding his thinking can lead us to a healthier relationship with , for example, our phones — and by extension, with one another.

We began stocking The School of Life’s series on work, gratitude and pleasure as a way of thinking through modern day issues. We admire their series for the capacity to stimulate reflection, and their ability to give a new perspective on age old problems. At its core, it is a set of strategies for finding meaning in the modern world — so that we can appreciate small pleasures and the things that might go unnoticed.
