It features a pack of 52 cards to help us understand what truly matters through deep and entertaining conversation, with ourselves or with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sometimes playfully wonder what the meaning of life might be - but it can be hard to kick start a conversation with ourselves (let alone with anyone else) around such a daunting subject. These cards directly and elegantly lead us to some of the largest questions about life and its meaning – cards that help us and our companions to think with exceptional depth about what truly matters, where we see ourselves heading and what gives life its purpose. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMeasures 9,1 x 6,7 x 2 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCounts 52 cards\u003cbr\u003eSuitable for adults\u003cbr\u003ePlayed alone or with others\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe School of Life x Misc Store Amsterdam\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlain de Botton founded The School of Life in 2008. His aim was to make philosophy — long seen as the inaccessible, inauthentic stuff of academies and archives — a functional aspect of modern life. The care with which ancient philosophers thought about their lives remains a valuable antidote to the generalised anxiety of our era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe school thus posits that ideas of Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics are as relevant to us today as they were in ancient Greece. Even if Epicurus never had social media burnout, understanding his thinking can lead us to a healthier relationship with , for example, our phones — and by extension, with one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe began stocking The School of Life’s series on work, gratitude and pleasure as a way of thinking through modern day issues. We admire their series for the capacity to stimulate reflection, and their ability to give a new perspective on age old problems. At its core, it is a set of strategies for finding meaning in the modern world — so that we can appreciate small pleasures and the things that might go unnoticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: -114px; top: -18.5px;\" id=\"gtx-trans\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The School of Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43506976784614,"sku":"11286","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/3104\/5683\/products\/The-School-of-Life-The-Meaning-of-Life-Cards-top.jpg?v=1668417211","url":"https:\/\/misc-store.mom\/products\/the-school-of-life-the-meaning-of-life-cards","provider":"Misc Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
