The Career Workbook is the most recent addition to The School of Life's line-up of guided workbooks. Through a series of essays, thought-provoking and practical excersises and inspiring prompts, you will find yourself building up a personalised portrait of your talents and ambitions. The book guides you towards an approach to work that honours your talents and allows you to thrive — helping you discover a career that is truly fulfilling.
The book applies a uniquely philosophical perspective to the world of work. It dares us to ask truly big questions: about why humans need work; the kinds of work that truly motivate us; and how the right job can give our lives purpose and meaning.
At Misc Store we also carry The Calm Workbook, a therapeutic and consoling workbook with exercises to soothe anxiety and create a state of calm.

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.
