The School of Life is known for its ideas about self-knowledge and fulfilment – but where do these ideas come from? What would it be like to eavesdrop on their origins? How does the thinking take place?
The Workshop is a new podcast from The School of Life which takes you behind the scenes of our organisation – and lets you listen to our ideas taking form. Leading the conversation are Alain de Botton, our founder and creative director, and John Armstrong, the School of Life’s philosopher-in-chief.
In every episode, Alain and John tackle one of life’s fundamental questions: Can people change? What makes a good friend? What is psychotherapy? Does love have to come to an end?
The tone is intimate, warm, often funny, always sincere. And the point of every episode is to come up with nothing less than ideas that resonate, illuminate and point to new ways of living with greater confidence and compassion.
Complete episodes of The Workshop are available to listen to on our app, exclusively for paying subscribers to The School of Life. To listen to our first four episodes in full, and to hear each new episode as soon as it’s released, subscribe today.
