About this Event
Are you a proper grown-up? Philosopher and founder of The School of Life, Alain de Botton, joins us, through recorded video, with a guide to facing life’s challenges with confidence, kindness and good-natured intelligence.
True emotional maturity is a state few of us ever reach – or at least not for very long. But it may help us to try to lay out what some of its constituent parts are so that we have an idea what we might aim for.
Alain will prompt us to look at how we respond to rejection, frustration, anxiety, ambiguity and hope by asking questions such as: How much do you like yourself? Do you worry too much about the opinions of other people? What might be the best way to become a more interesting person?
We will be watching a recent session recording from The School of Life and have a conversation about it.
