The School of Life - How to Stay Sane

A talk from Philippa Perry on How to Stay Sane. There is no simple set of instructions that can guarantee sanity, but if you want to overcome emotional difficulties and become happier, psychotherapist Philippa Perry argues that there are four cornerstones to sanity you can influence to bring about change. By developing your self-observation skills, examining how you relate to others, breaking out of your comfort zone and exploring new ways of defining yourself, she demonstrates that it is possible to become a little less tortured and a little more fulfilled. This book is at once a brilliant explanation of our minds and a profoundly useful guide to facing up to the many challenges life throws our way. One in the new series of books from The School of Life, launched May 2012: How to Stay Sane by Philippa Perry How to Find Fulfilling Work by Roman Krznaric How to Worry Less About Money by John Armstrong How to Change the World by John-Paul Flintoff How to Thrive in the Digital Age by Tom Chatfield How to Think More About Sex by Alain de Botton

The Self Observer is not just part of us... it IS US. It is who we really are.
The “ parts” of us are the things we attach to our essential Identity and they are subject to the winds and waves and storms of life. And eventually they fall away and all that is left is who we really are.
Find this now in the moment, and you will naturally come into the proper relationship with everything within and without

Ted talks bore me silly--they're often pretentious and pedantic. School of life hits just the right note with humor, intelligence, wit and a ton of genuine information.
