Journal Prompt Cards
The School of Life's Journal Prompt Cards direct us to some of the most fruitful topics for reflection and self-exploration. Journalling is one of the most effective ways to regain direction and calm: but what we should ideally be journalling about isn’t always clear. The prompt cards tackle key topics around relationships, careers, emotions and ambitions — use them as you journal to find inspiration and encouragement. They invite us to go on new journeys within ourselves that will leave us more joyful, self-aware and serene.
How to use:
- Flip through the cards when the urge to journal strikes.
- Stop where it feels relevant; and let the prompt guide you towards new insights and awareness.
- Write as much or as little as feels relevant.
- Repeat regularly.
Alternatively, use the cards to inspire reflections that don’t get written down. You might even use them in a discussion with a friend.
Examples of prompts:
Write a letter you want to – but never will – send.
Who I want to be this time next year.
The people I most love in the world – and why they matter so much.
The things I really, really care about.

Alain de Botton founded The School of Life in 2008. His aim was to make philosophy — long seen as the inaccessible, inauthentic stuff of academies and archives — a functional aspect of modern life. The care with which ancient philosophers thought about their lives remains a valuable antidote to the generalised anxiety of our era.
The school thus posits that ideas of Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics are as relevant to us today as they were in ancient Greece. Even if Epicurus never had social media burnout, understanding his thinking can lead us to a healthier relationship with, for example, our phones — and by extension, with one another.
We began stocking The School of Life’s series on work, gratitude and pleasure as a way of thinking through modern day issues. We admire their series for the capacity to stimulate reflection, and their ability to give a new perspective on age old problems. At its core, it is a set of strategies for finding meaning in the modern world — so that we can appreciate small pleasures and the things that might go unnoticed.
