What our readers have been saying about the individual essays
On Confidence
"Brief but insightful! Will be back for more School of Life reads. Works really well on Audible"
"Brilliant! Thought provoking. Kept concise enough to really focus on the subject and give you time to think about the subject in terms of yourself."
Self-Knowledge
"It's such a simple and small book but with a powerful message! I really needed it and I'm grateful I got to read this book and work on the exercises. The exercises are definitely a plus and they're very well thought-through!"
Just perfect. Must-read for everyone who considers at least dating, not to mention serious commitment. Beautifully exposed all the myths and concepts of love, sex and relationships. While this is very entertaining and funny, the topics are very serious and make me think and change my attitude... a lot."
Why You Will Marry The Wrong Person
"Excellent little book for perspective on a considerably important subject. If you plan on marrying, take a day and read this magnificent little title."
