The School of Life offers evening classes and workshops which are designed to provide useful insights around the big themes in life.[4] These might explore ways to improve relationships or find more satisfaction in one's working life, or even how to be cool.[5] These classes are devised by leading authors, artists, actors and academics, combining their own experiences with ideas from great thinkers of the past to offer participants intelligent and playful ways to interpret the world, and their place within it.[4]
