Emotional Barometer This is a tool to help us overcome our vagueness: cards that offer definitions of twenty moods that we can all recognise but that can be hard to pin down and explain. Here are descriptions of – among many other things – the sense of feeling weepy, nostalgic, anxious, and dreamy.
Box of twenty cards with movable dial and fold-out stand on box lid | 160 x 115 x 20mm
15 Minute Timer This hourglass sand timer reminds us to carve out 15 minutes a day for what truly counts. It demarcates a very modest and manageable period to dedicate to the important things we so often let slide – finally writing that letter to an old friend, rationally analysing our career ambitions, or playing in a concentrated way with a child. It’s an antidote to wasted days and a counter to the urge to procrastinate, prompting us to do a minimum of what really counts.
Glass timer | instruction booklet and box |13 x 5.5 cm
Know Yourself Prompt Cards These cards are designed to assist us in a journey of self-knowledge; they present us with a range of ideas and questions that can help us to understand ourselves better. Each card carries an exercise on one side and a piece of analysis on the reverse to help you gain insight and clarity on that ever elusive subject: yourself.
60 cards in box | 104mm x 73mm x 36mm.
How to Overcome Your Childhood To an extraordinary and humbling extent, who we are as adults is determined by events that happened to us before our fifteenth birthday. The way we express affection, the sort of people we find appealing, our understanding of success and our approach to work are all shaped by events in childhood. We don’t have to remain prisoners of the past, but in order to liberate ourselves from our histories we must first become fully aware of them. This is a book about such a liberation.
Hardback book | 118 pages | 187 x 115 mm
Review
***What readers are saying***By far the most extraordinarily helpful journal, questions that are actually relevant to self discovery, exploration, and closure.
This is even more interesting than I expected. I am very keen to think and answer a one more question every time I open it. And the idea from the end is really creative!
–Another great interactive resource from School of Life to help identify and understand the mind’s perception of the reality.
