PRAISE FOR A THERAPEUTIC JOURNEY "A THERAPEUTIC JOURNEY is essential to the literature on emotional well-being and life navigation. It functions not just as a guide but also as a friend--one that offers solutions and the right questions to ponder." -- Mental Health Affairs "The book serves as a toolkit for life's complexities [.] delving into existential issues that often underscore emotional well-being." -- Mental Health Affairs "A collection of essays designed to help us find our way back to connection, warmth, and joy--it's a mediation on the wisdom of children and the comfort, catharsis, and even clarity that tears can bring. In these difficult days, may it be a balm leading us away from despair and toward hope." -- The Isolation Journals with Suleika Jaouad "How to cultivate a mind that faces the gauntlet of living without making of it a hell is what Alain de Botton, philosopher of poetic pragmatism, explores in A Therapeutic Journey: Lessons from The School of Life." -- The Marginalian ".

I am obsessed with Alain de Botton.If you are going to get one of Botton's books, this one is a great summary of all the stuff the School of Life has been up to over the past few years." -- Bad At Keeping Secrets Newsletter "De Botton has a gift for looking at the great questions of human existence--love, friendship, work, travel, home--in a way that is intellectually rigorous, therapeutic, amusing and always highly readable." -- Oldster Magazine "De Botton acts as our friend and guide, hand in ours, walking alongside us, slowly, as he identifies the nature of mental illness and mental health [.] and delivers us back to what we've lost--hope." -- Amanda Stern, How to Live Newsletter.
