How Emotionally Mature Are You?

This is a guide to psychological adulthood from the The School of Life, assisted by psychotherapists, artists, and educators.

What does it actually mean to be a grown-up? Not just bills and bedtime routines, but being calm under pressure. Kind to ourselves. Able to handle life’s twists without spiralling into doom scrolls and over analysis. How can we be better able to face life’s challenges with poise, confidence, kindness and good-natured intelligence.

This book is for anyone who’s ever thought, shouldn’t I be better at this by now? It’s part questionnaire, part reflective guide. It helps you explore how you respond to rejection, anxiety, uncertainty and all those tricky little human feelings. 

You’ll dig into childhood patterns, perfectionism, and how to build self-belief that actually sticks. There’s insight on impostor syndrome, self-love and the subtle art of not catastrophising.

Consider it a grown-up guide to becoming the adult you imagined you’d be. Wise, warm and refreshingly honest, no faux positivity here. Just sharp, intelligent reflections and tools for emotional growth. 

This book delivers a realistic roadmap for how to achieve our full potential and grow into self-aware, unfrightened, joyful adults.
