School of Life

Taxes included.

Description

What gives life meaning? A question we’ve all circled – sometimes in quiet moments, sometimes mid-commute. This little book doesn't promise all the answers, but it does offer something better: the tools to ask the right questions.

From the thinkers at The School of Life, The Meaning of Life explores the threads that make life feel rich – love, work, friendship, philosophy, nature and more. It’s a pocket-sized guide to the big stuff, helping you tune into what really matters and gently nudging you toward a life with more depth and self-knowledge.

Thought-provoking yet practical, it’s ideal for anyone who likes their philosophy with a side of quiet reflection and their books with a beautiful cover.

Trusted Stationer of 13+ years

Papersmiths started with a single shelf of stationery in a Bristol design studio. A decade on, we still choose every piece the same way - for its story, its tactility, and the way it makes you want to sit down and write something. Visit us in Chelsea or Brighton, or shop the collection we've spent years designing and refining.
