The School of Life's Creative Thinking Cards is a tool to help us awaken the imaginative and original parts of our minds. Each prompt invites us to surprise ourselves, ask unusual questions and rediscover our longing to create something new. For many of us, one of our strongest – yet vaguest – desires is to be more creative. It’s a skill we can nurture and gently tease out of ourselves.
These cards are designed to be used either on your own or with a group of friends. They can be used as sources of inspiration, journal prompts or conversation starters.
How to use:
- Shuffle the cards and choose one at random
- Read the prompt – either to yourself or aloud to a group of friends
- Respond with honesty, curiosity and playfulness. Allow yourself to go off-topic if that’s where your imagination takes you
Examples of prompts:
- Who is the most creative person you know? What have they taught you?
- Were there any hobbies you loved in childhood but have since given up?
- Hold up or describe the most visually inspiring thing in your current space. What makes it beautiful to you?
- What would you do if you had one week with no responsibilities?

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.
