He is a writer of multiple books described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life.’ His first book, Essays in Love,&nbsp; was published when he was twenty-three and went on to sell millions of copies. He is also the co-founder of The School of Life, one of my favourite platforms, which is an education space dedicated to a new vision of education, emotional intelligence and self-knowledge. The School of Life's latest book, is called A Simpler Life: a guide to greater serenity, ease, and clarity and came out in January 2022, which I really recommend.
