What Can I Do When I Grow Up?
The School of LIfe's What Can I Do When I Grow Up is a book about the world of work written expressly for young people. It takes us on a journey around the most essential questions within the topic, such as:
• How can I discover my passions?
• What should a 'good' job involve?
• How much money should I make?
• How does the economy work?
The result is a book that will spark exceptionally fruitful conversations and help you look forward to your work life with positivity and anticipation.
It is written for children 10 years and older, but we at Misc Store feel it is very well written for parents too. In that sense it is very insightful to learn about the reference world of their child and what words to use.

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.
