The School of Life: Varieties of Melancholy Book - Exploring Human Emotions & Philosophy | Perfect for Self-Reflection, Therapy & Personal Growth

An insightful and consoling guide to the melancholic state of mind.

This is a book that celebrates the most neglected but valuable emotion we can feel: melancholy. Melancholy isn’t depression or anger or bitterness, it’s a serene, accepting, gentle, wise and kindly response to the difficulties and occasional misery of being alive. It steers an ideal mid-way course between despair on the one hand and naïve optimism on the other.
