    I am not sure what to make of "School of Life". On one hand it is novel concept, on another hand it…read morescreams tweedy intellectualism with a dash of Kumbya Atheism. I liked the Robert Emerson book of essays for 2.50 on sale, and a book about teaching your grandma how to text. This place offers free tea and course for adults about love and life.There are little presents here (like poster books of quotes, that are like SO DEEP). I find this place a bit pretentious in an unassuming way. Unsure what to make of it even now.

    I totally agree with the individual who reviewed the School of Life - he goes under name, Rory…read more And yes, I totally admit, that I myself do not know what to make of the School of Life. Apparently, the School of Life declares itself to free from dogma, not affiliated to any religious, educational, charitable or other organisations. I cannot see how that's possible to be honest. I know, as well as everyone else that the School of Life, was or still is owned and founded by Alain de Botton, author and philosopher, along side with Sophie Howarth, a former curator from the Tate Modern. I know that the shop has changed substantially since 2008, when the School of Life first opened it's door for the first time. As of late, my retail experience while browsing inside the School of Life philosophy bookshop, has been somewhat completely disappointing. I find all the staff very cold, dismissive, ignorant and more importantly, totally disinterested in what you are looking. I wouldn't even waste your brain cells on the School of Life - at all. To call themselves, "School of Life" seems nice and beautiful on the outside. But on the inside, as soon as you walk into their premises, I find the staff incredibly cold, rude, condescending, patronizing, true ignorance and very distant. To be very clear to anyone who reads this: the staff at the School of Life, never say hello to you, when you enter their premises and they never say goodbye to when you exit their premises. That to me, is totally unjust, considering that they stock some pricey black crew-neck Philosophy jumper, designed by Bella Freud; I'd rather go to Dover Street Market, to buy a Comme des Garçons jumper from those guys, at least I am being served by polite and decent Japanese retail staff unlike the rotten and cold rude staff members at the School of Life. Considering the retail prices are slightly more expensive then in Mayfair shops - I seriously hate the staff who run the School of Life, with absolute passion. Mentioning ignorant, I find the retail manager (male) - I find him totally ignorant, impolite and very dismissive. I will not mention any names of staff members, however I will confirm that the staff who run the School of Life, a total waste of human DNA.
