In this book from The School of Life, famous philosophers' teachings are revisited and broken down to help us deal with the challenges we face as we grow up.

Philosophy is often considered a complicated academic exercise with little relevance to ordinary people.

But in fact, philosophy can be of great help in our everyday lives, allowing us to face problems more consciously and respond to them with more wisdom.

Big Ideas for Curious Minds is a book of key takeaways from history's most prolific philosophers, such as Seneca, Buddha, and Socrates.

The School of Life, an organization for self-enrichment co-founded by philosopher Alain de Botton, summarizes and breaks down these enlightening teachings into relatable lessons and anecdotes for every application.
