內容簡介
我們在學校、社會上花了大把時間學習知識、數字，高智商是最讓人崇尚的狀態，但卻漏了情商培養，沒有任何一門學科教導我們如何活出一個充滿意義的人生。十年前由知名作家艾倫‧狄波頓創立的機構「人生學校」，唯一宗旨就是讓所有人都獲得生存、並且茁壯成長的能力，在這些能力之中，最重要的就是「情商」。
本書由艾倫‧狄波頓編輯、並且撰寫導言，集結了多年來關於「情商」的研究，所有基礎、具代表性的研究都收錄其中，並且以實用的主題來分類，包括：
l 如何了解自己
l 如何掌控一段關係間的矛盾
l 如何在工作上更有效率
l 如何忍受失敗
l 如何更加平靜有彈性
「人生學校」提供的人生智慧、實際有用的建議，為所有人鋪上一條通往更美好人生的道路。
Introduced and edited by the bestselling author of The Consolations of Philosophy, The Art of Travel and The Course of Love
'Alain de Botton likes to take big, complex subjects and write about them with thoughtful and deceptive innocence' Observer
We spend years in school learning facts and figures but the one thing we're never taught is how to live a fulfilled life. That's why we need The School of Life - a real organisation founded ten years ago by writer and philosopher Alain de Botton. The School of Life has one simple aim: to equip people with the tools to survive and thrive in the modern world. And the most important of these tools is emotional intelligence.
This book brings together ten years of essential and transformative research on emotional intelligence, with practical topics including:
- how to understand yourself
- how to master the dilemmas of relationships
- how to become more effective at work
- how to endure failure
- how to grow more serene and resilient
The School of Life is nothing short of a crash course in emotional maturity. With all the trademark wit and elegance of Alain de Botton's other writings, and rooted in practical, achievable advice, it show us a path to the better lives we all want and deserve.
