As much as I like their content, I utterly dislike the fact that they seem like one of those websites that trap you. They renewed my subscription without telling me, even though I am pretty sure I can... See more

Best self-help app out there

I've been using TSOL for over 1 year now. I've also gifted a subscription to a close friend.
The wide range of topics covered and the different ways they are covered in make it very engaging. There's a immense amount of experience, thought and effort that has gone into curating each topic and presenting it for situations.

Keep it up.

A lifesaver

A wide selection of topics that will certainly resonate with everyone on some level, depending on where you are on your path to making sense of yourself and life choices. A true lifesaver when feeling stuck and muddled. It is like having a wise friend to turn to.

Helped my relationship

I've been a subscriber from nearly the very beginning. It's really helped my relationship because it has helped start important conversations with my husband on topics we might not have discussed otherwise. When I had some issues with my account and difficulty accessing content by clicking on a link they were quick and helpful in addressing it.

Calm, learning and inspiration

The School of Life app has provided me with articles, novels, bitesize content and other material which has helped me gain perspective, inspiration and calm. It’s been a comfort in difficult moments, and given me inspiration in better times. I’d recommend the app to anyone looking for new perspectives, philosophical inspiration or calm in challenging moments

School of Life is an oasis, in the desert of life!!!!

Learning about The School Of Life has been a real “life changer”. I devour everything they put out on their site , especially the amazing videos that address certain themes in a very perfectly succinct manner.
I wish I could go to London and see their workings in person. Everything they say and do is brilliant. I also wish I could go over there and work for them.
I send friends and family many of the articles and videos that I think will address that persons needs.

Timeless, authentic and clever - if you're a human being in need of a point of reference in your life then you need The School of Life. Brilliant.
The articles and videos are very well written, entertaining and offer practical advice and fresh perspectives on relationships and human problems. I love the art and the optimistic vibe the website and app give.

Great app - strong recommend

Great app. I put the app where instagram used to be on my phone - now it's my go to app if I pick up my phone, which is great because it reminds me to put my phone down. I've really got a lot out of the mini courses on recovering from trauma & the first aid.

I really enjoy the subscription and the Confidence Workbook.

I really enjoy the subscription and the app. Since my phone is usually at hand, it's great to have access to content that is helpful in my life when I find myself engaged in a rote task. Through the subscription I was introduced to the Confidence Workbook. I ordered it and have been working my way through it. I feel it's really made a difference in helping me to be more honest and outspoken.

Bought a subscription as a Christmas…

Bought a subscription as a Christmas present to myself. Finding it really help as I work through some of the courses. I’m learning a lot about my unhelpful coping strategies and how my traumatic childhood informs my adult life. Highly recommend
