Keeping a cool head and a positive attitude has never been easy, but nowadays, it seems almost impossible.

With the fast pace of life in the 21st century, mental health has become a precious commodity.

The School of Life book series offers insights from philosophy and social sciences that help us navigate the most difficult demands of daily life: relationships, loneliness, work, and change.

This installment is written by Philippa Perry, a British psychotherapist, BBC presenter, and author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read.

In How to Stay Sane, Perry explains how understanding our minds' inner workings can help us take better care of our mental health and become more emotionally resilient.
