It was founded in 2008 and based in branches in London (headquarters),[3] Antwerp, Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul, Melbourne, Paris, São Paulo, Sydney,[4][5] Seoul, Taipei and Tel Aviv.[6] The School offers a variety of programmes and services covering finding fulfilling work, mastering relationships, achieving calm, and understanding and changing the world.[7] The School also offers psychotherapy and bibliotherapy services and runs online and physical shops[8]. HistoryThe School of Life was founded by a number of writers, artists and educators.[9] The faculty includes philosophers Mark Vernon, Robert Rowland Smith and writer John Armstrong.[10] CriticismSome critics think de Botton's approach is shallow and unhelpful: "Yet the real issue with de Botton’s new book, and the others in the How To series, is not simply a lack of depth but one of purpose: they are certainly shallow in their philosophy, but they are not particularly useful either. The books are combination platters of soft science, anecdotal case studies (some real, some fictional), and exercises or suggestions about steps the reader could take to further his or her goal."[11] Some critics suggest that selling philosophical ideas as therapy is problematic, but others suggest it has merit: "But even those who are cynical about the combination of profit and philosophy may find The School of Life’s non-fiction series substantive." [12] ShopThe London branch of The School of Life has a small shop on Marchmont Street in Central London.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/OC328999|title=Campus London LLP – Overview (free company information from Companies House)}} 2. ^{{cite web | title = Fresh findings point to solution for financial education|work= FTAdviser | publisher = Financial Times| url = https://www.ftadviser.com/pensions/2017/05/31/fresh-call-for-overhaul-of-financial-education/|date=May 31, 2017| accessdate = 2017-06-20 }} 3. ^{{cite web| title = Londoner's Diary: Alain De Botton and his school exit Europe |work= London Evening Standard| url = http://www.standard.co.uk/news/londoners-diary/londoners-diary-alain-de-botton-and-his-school-exit-europe-a3511641.html |date=April 10, 2017| accessdate = 2017-06-20 }} 4. ^{{cite web| title = The School of Life: An Interview With Alain de Botton |work= HuffPost| url = http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-matousek/the-school-of-life-an-int_b_9916166.html | accessdate = 2017-06-20 }} 5. ^{{cite web| title = Alain de Botton and his School of Life come to Sydney| url = http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/alain-de-botton-and-his-school-of-life-come-to-sydney-20160628-gptzip.html| accessdate = 2017-06-20 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald| first = Susan| last = Wyndham }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.theschooloflife.com/london/world/international-opportunities/ |title=International Opportunities |publisher=The School of Life |accessdate=20 September 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.theschooloflife.com/about-us/about-us/ |title=About Us |publisher=The School of Life |accessdate=7 March 2015}} 8. ^1 {{cite news | url = https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/sep/01/life-lessons-freud-byron-nietzsche | date = 1 September 2013 | accessdate = 7 January 2015 | first = Peter | last = Conrad | newspaper = The Guardian | title = Life Lessons from...
