The School that pushes the Botton

In between procrastinating and writing an essay, I switched on the tv to find one of my favourite living men, Alain de Botton, presenting a slot on the Culture Show. Questioning the pursuit of knowledge to an individual's happiness, Botton marketed courses at The School of Life in London. With titles such as 'How to Make Love Last', 'How to be Cool' and 'How to Face Death', I was somewhat intrigued after my intial amusement as the institute itself was formulated, and is run by, a few notable writers. £30 seems a small fee to waste a few hours of your life alternatively (rather than buying that crop top you saw last week in that vintage store), get the chance to meet some open-minded people and perhaps retain an objective perspective on what truly motivates and fulfils your existence if you didn't realise yet (even if it does so happen only for a minute) . . . when we're next in London - who knows!

Oh and check out the free iMinds app at the moment, which is virtually a verbal wikipedia that you can grab snippets of generalised knowledge whilst on the go.
