The School of Life Reviews 

The School of Life app is the ultimate thesaurus of valuable content to help navigate life with more wonder, enthusiasm, love, less anxiety and compassion. It has become a daily habit to read one of the articles and feel better once finished. It has help me immensely to encounter daily struggles with a better attitude. It has helped me improve my personal and professional relationships as it opens a window to the human soul and its troubles, and makes me more compassionate towards people in general.

great app, with great content.
the daily content is capable of giving you lots of insights to improve out reflection upon the biggest issues of our lives such as meaning, relationships, love, work, culture etc.
very good!

Wonderfully entertaining and illuminating; a delightful sidestep out of the maelstrom. It is calming and humorous. The resultant internal narrative is akin to having Alain as one's imaginary best friend. And who does not want that?!

Opening your app from your emails is continually problematic. Your current login set up is cumbersome, requiring way too many steps. I frequently give up. Most bothersome, the email articles from which I try open the app, if it opens, often opens with the article I want to read nowhere in sight. Please have your web team simplify your login processes.

The subscription is so much worth it! So much interesting information for every aspect of our lives.

Thanks for making me feel Im not the only one struggling and riding this rollercoaster called life. Relating to almost every topic makes me more hopeful about myself and my future. Also thanks for not being one of those superficial “Think positive and your dreams will come true” kinda content.

If you want to stop mindlessly scrolling and spend your time reading something useful and uplifting instead, this is the app for you. It's like talking to a friend who knows you so well they always know the right things to say to set you back on the path to yourself, without the drama. I feel calmer - and even a bit smarter! - thanks to this app.

I'm 75 and have spent most of my life coming to terms with an "unusual" childhood and adolescence. The School of Life has tied together strands of psychology, philosophy, and personal growth into a coherent accessible whole. I look forward to the regular, balanced and thoughtful pieces.

Brilliant non obvious insights a plenty. Highly digestible and beautifully written, prepared content.

This is my daily entry path into philosophy, psychology, sociology and all things human.

If you’re looking for a blend of straight talk and deep compassion, The School of Life is a powerful resource. I’ve integrated their work into both my personal life and my consulting practice, as our approaches to making sense of humanity align. That said, if you prefer high-energy motivational events that offer temporary inspiration without more profound reflection, The School of Life may not be the right fit for you. And that’s okay--different paths resonate with different people. But if you’re ready to engage with the core of your humanity and cultivate lasting contentment, their work is well worth exploring.

Really good quality content , easy enough to digest as bite size parts , which are quirky, interesting and makes you both think and act - hopefully!

Having a subscription to the school of life app is like having a friend in your pocket you can turn to for wisdom, consolation or another point of view when stuck. It is a huge encyclopaedia on how to life your best life that you can access anywhere, anytime.

I really enjoy my SOL app. It's so elegantly interesting and intelligent, making me more appreciative of the role and purpose of art and philosophy and what treasures there are to be found there concerning the human condition and how to live and love fully and well

The School of Life is a must have resource in one's life - candid, sensible, provocative thoughts and ideas that cut across the quack and bullshit of today's social media stream of life hacks filled with cod advice.

Best money I spend all year. When I need to feel elevated, reassured, and that it's all going to be okay, I go to the School of Life.

The linguistic style of essays written or spoken by Alain de Botton is so attractive, heart-reaching and enlightening.

My best alternative to social media. Bitesize wisdom on the go!

Much as ‘Phone distraction’ is a modern problem, this app provides a daily ‘shot’ of wide interest articles/audio/prompts which has a positive impact.

Really thought-provoking, supportive and inspiring content. I access the app on an almost-daily basis and the articles/videos always resonate with me. I particularly like the facility to save content and that the homepage is tailored to the individual user. Highly recommend to anyone seeking personal growth and comfort.
