Alain de Botton, the founder and Chair of The School of Life, is a

The School of Life is devoted to developing emotional intelligence.
It addresses issues such as how to find fulfilling work, how to

***What readers are saying: *** "I love this book on the philosophy
of traveling alone. I was absolutely riveted by the essays. I
highly recommend this book." - NetGalley review
"How to Travel helped me narrow down where I want to travel to, why
I want to travel there, and who I want to travel with. The blank
pages included gave me room to respond to the questions posed in
the essays, which made the reading experience that much more
enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who dreams of
experiencing a culture or world outside of their own but can't
decide on a place." - Feefo review
"A lovely collection of thought provoking short essays with note
pages for jotting down things like 'useful foreign phrases' or to
'give drawing a go'. So enjoyable, and a perfect gift for someone
preparing to travel." - Amazon review
"A book for travelers not tourists, little stories of places,
people, experiences and peace to feed the soul. Travelling is a
journey and every part of the journey needs to be enjoyed, even the
airport. Can imagine the author writing beautiful journals to
extract just a few of these musings to put into this book.
Absolutely loved it and have read it twice." - NetGalley review
"How to Travel is the perfect size to slip into your backpack for
your next trip. It'll look fantastic next to your passport, and
boarding pass. This book is also a great gift for those in your
life, whether they travel or not, since there's a lot of
information about what staying at home can look like, and how that
in itself is a form of travel." - Avocado Diaries
