About the author
The School of Life
173 books3,127 followersThe School of Life is a global organisation helping people lead more fulfilled lives.
We believe that the journey to finding fulfilment begins with self-knowledge. It is only when we have a sense of who we really are that we can make reliable decisions, particularly around love and work.
Sadly, tools and techniques for developing self-knowledge and finding fulfilment are hard to find – they’re not taught in schools, in universities, or in workplaces. Too many of us go through life without ever really understanding what’s going on in the recesses of our minds.
That’s why we created The School of Life; a resource for helping us understand ourselves, for improving our relationships, our careers and our social lives - as well as for helping us find calm and get more out of our leisure hours. We do this through films, workshops, books and gifts - as well as through a warm and supportive community.

On Mental Illness comes from The School of Life, which, according to their website, is “an organisation built to help us find calm, self-understanding, resilience and connection – especially during troubled times.” The book’s introduction says it aims to be “a sanctuary, a walled garden filled with nourishing psychological vegetation, and with comfortable benches on which to sit and recover our strength, in an atmosphere of kindness and fellow-feeling.”
Chapters in the book include reasons to live, acceptance, medication, psychotherapy, self-compassion, and gratitude. There’s a chapter on self-regulation that touches on common issues like sleep, hygiene, and exercise, and also presents the concept of the window of tolerance.
When it comes to the causes of mental illness, I’m anti-reductionism, whether that goes in a biological or psychosocial direction. This book leans pretty hard into psychosocial reductionism in this paragraph, which felt rather reminiscent of Johann Hari’s book Lost Connections:
“We shouldn’t be surprised at the enormous levels of mental illness at large in society; we need only get clear how bad we collectively are at love, how poor we are at lending sympathy, at listening, at offering reassurance, at feeling compassion and at forgiving—and conversely how good we are at hating, shaming, and neglecting… Furthermore, we’ve opted to wash our hands of the issue of love and handed responsibility for healing wholesale to scientists, as though they could culture a complete solution to mental wellness through their medication. We ignore that the cure largely lies in the emotional realm: in getting better at appeasing each other’s fears, at being generous about our transgressions, at no longer tormenting and maltreating one another for our failures and at sitting together through the darkness in a spirit of care and kindly forbearance.”
The chapter on psychotherapy included the decidedly odd section “What benefit is there in your illness?” The book acknowledges that asking this “could sound like the height of nastiness,” but it “can be raised from the kindest and most sincere motives.” One of the example scenarios that’s given is a father acting out of jealousy of “his son’s nascent sexual prowess.” Oh my, how very Freudian! In the same chapter, I found this line interesting: “Most therapists we come across are likely to be less than what they should be.” I don’t necessarily disagree, but “most” was an interesting choice of word.
The book is a quick read, with short chapters. I’m not entirely sure how to describe the writing style, which is quite different from what I usually read. It felt formal; not academic or scientific or using difficult concepts or vocabulary, but sort of reminiscent of what you might expect to read when visiting a museum or monastery. There is some use of the collective “we,” but that didn’t make it feel any less impersonal to me. From the book description, it seems like people with mental illness are the target audience, but I finished the book feeling rather unclear on who it was really trying to speak to. I think it might actually appeal more to outsiders who want a kind, gentle, pretty picture of mental illness than it would to seriously mentally ill folks like myself. Or maybe it’s just me; hard to say for sure.
I received a reviewer copy from the publisher through Netgalley.

Very thought provoking. For someone who has issues with my mental state, this book has taught me a lot. Especially to be kind with ourselves, open up to share stories, meet people who are as wrecked as I am, to love and help others in need even if I feel like I'm not perfect enough because we are enough, we are perfect as we are.
For some who already read lots of mental health books might say that this is repetitive, but that's essential when we want to learn how to unfold what's going on inside our head.
Important points that I love from this book:
- there's nothing shameful in admitting what we can't cope.
- when darkness starts to cloud our mind, the feeling of exceptionalism will crawl back in and that’s how we push people away, because we feel like nobody in this world understands or suffers the way we are. It’s very important to have a group of people we can rely on, to remind us that we are bigger than our evil mind.
- love (not mere romantically, but through sympathy, tolerance, and patience) is the cure of a broken mind.
- we can take as many time as we can to heal our damaged mind because brain is a very complex organ
- revisit the kid inside us. It's very important to reassure them that everything’s okay because growing up is a lonely and confusing journey. Every part of us never really dies, in fact it brings baggage that somehow we overlooked.
- take your time to appreciate every tiny and beautiful thing in life. Take a warm bath as long as you can as it is a good way to relax and let loose all the strangle that we have in our shoulder. Go for a walk. Find a hobby you can understand.
- remember to be kind of yourself because our brain can easily sabotage our relationship with anything. friend, work, romantic affair, family.
- it may sound pathetic, but somehow we treat ourselves the way people treat us. So when people treat us badly, we tend to feel like we deserve to be treated that way. Thus, we also do the same thing to ourselves. Be very careful for that one.
I will highly recommend this book to anyone that is struggling with mental issues. Even if you don’t have any issues, reading this one will help you understand what’s going through someone with a mental health problem.

Picked this up from an art gallery. The style of writing is very different, using “we” and a calm, matter-of-fact voice to walk you through a few ideas of why things may be the way they are in your head.
I don’t think the tone suits everyone, and some of the topics I have differing beliefs on. However, I interpret it as being written in a non judgemental way, presenting you with food for thought rather than forcibly impressing an opinion.
It is a nicely bound book and I greatly enjoyed the content, it provided interesting reflections whilst incorporating artworks in a variety of styles.
However, one of the main frustrations I had with this book was that some of the passages in the particular edition I have are not typeset very well. Sentences spill over onto the next page, sometimes three pages ahead if there are pictures, which loses the impact of the words. For a book in this topic, I believe a detail like this is ever more important.
The edition I read was the 2022 Hardback edition.

“Mental health is a miracle we are apt not to notice until it slips from our grasp- at which point we may wonder how we ever managed to do anything as complicated and beautiful as order our thoughts sanely and calmly”
I highly recommend this book, for those who want to learn about mental illness, and for those who suffer from mental illness. So far 4.5/5 ⭐️

While I'm sure everyone's suffering is unique, the author has captured the essence of mental illness, including the confusion, exhaustion, and pain that comes with it. The author goes on to discuss the journey to that dark place, the journey out of it, and the longer term expectations and care of one's own mental well-being.
I tried to absorb the book's insights because I believe it will help her understand me, my behaviour, my pain, and my journey with chronic anxiety and eventual breakdown.
Anyone who has suffered in a similar way would do well to read this book. I'd like to thank the author.

this is not really a guide 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 with tips but more of understanding mental illness and how it affects people. apart from bringing in the awareness to readers, its also a book for people w/ mental illness with the intentions to make them feel less alone and to remind them on the importance of self-acceptance and seeking more understanding & friendships. 🌱
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. ugh i just love anything from the school of life??? 🥺 if youre used to reading TSOL books, yknow its very TSOL when they will somehow relate their topics to the arts and thats one of the reasons why i enjoyed reading their contents. 😫 as an art lover, youre getting the best of both worlds??? u get to read and appreciate art at the same time 💚💚 it also somehow makes me feel peaceful and calm to read. ☁️
i devoured this in one sitting even though its quite a heavy topic. :') its more on knowledge reading but i just love how its easy to read and understand overall...and just makes you reflect on deep thingz. if you have yet to start on any TSOL books, its about time ✨
// thank you so much @netgalley & @theschooloflifelondon team for sending in a review e-copy in exchange of an honest review 🥰

May 2, 2023There is nothing shameful or rare in our condition. That is what I always say to my clients. "Mental illness is not a death sentence, but beneath the crisis, we are being given an opportunity to restart our lives on a more generous, kind, and realistic footing. We should dare to listen to what our pain is trying to tell us."
We all have the ability to cope. As a mental health practitioner, I genuinely enjoy this very thought-provoking book.
There is no health without mental health. Thank you to everyone for making it this far. I hope this book can bring comfort as much as I get and it's very courageous to ask for help.
I also highly recommend another book from The School of Life called: Reasons to Be Hopeful that also will be published this year. Both books can help shift our perspective to be more kind to ourselves.

This book was inspirational and comforting, which I have come to expect from The School of Life books and YouTube videos. There is one thing, however, that I need to address. In this book as well as in several of their YouTube videos, The School of Life focuses A LOT on mental illness being caused by our upbringing/parents. One video in particular (I can’t remember the name) even says that if you have mental illness but no prior history of abuse or neglect, then the trauma must have happened before your long-term memory formed. Based on what I’ve heard, the most common cause of mental illness is GENETICS, not trauma. The School of Life’s teachings tend to make me think a lot of Freudian psychology and psychoanalysis, which has been shown to be ineffective (but if it works for you, that’s great!).

Whereas I would love to give this book 5 stars, there's one thing I struggle with.
Most of the paragraphs and text on therapy, follow a psychoanalytical view on things. In turn, this means that there's a strong focus on the past, and it is only by fixing or learning about it that we can fix the future. I do recognise that psychoanalysts have a point on tapping into the past to understand any problems we have in the present. However, psychoanalysis focuses too much on that particular view of the world, and not everyone might benefit from it. Another challenge is that it portrays the therapist as someone who can give you advice, which is a practice that has been abandoned many years ago due to the dangers of doing so.
My struggles with this book are simply about that. It is brilliant in many aspects, but it never chooses a side. If it stays on the psychoanalytical view of things, or if it focuses on a more modern approach which taps into the benefits of what psychoanalysis correctly did in the past, and builds on more modern psychotherapeutic approaches. Psychoanalysis was brilliant in the past, but there are modern alternatives which can more easily adapt to the multitude of mental illness challenges each individual has.
Nevertheless, it is an excellent book on mental illness and most importantly it is extremely accessible without losing any detail or important information. I would just steer away from their advice on the role of a psychotherapist, and what psychotherapy is meant to be.

It's a good book. This book gave away so many understanding on mental illness, delivered informations in contextual explanation (which is a very good approach). But also, this book enhanced and validated informations that we may knew before. So reading this book was an experience of discovering new things and putting a perspective into the little things we knew about mental illness.
But as I am not an actively english speaking person, many words used in the writings were foreign to me and I had to look up for the meanings so often that I wish the writings could use more easier vocabulary. But again, that's also the beauty of most The School of Life books.

The School of Life on Mental Illness is a high-brow series of essays on mental illness. This well-written book, by the Therapy dept at the School of Life is written from the perspective of experienced Therapists and therefore is a valuable work on the subject. Some chapters are brilliantly written and thought-provoking.
I have enjoyed reading the book and have read others from the School of Life and would recommend this to persons experiencing, or those seeking to understand mental illness in the modern age.

When I see the 'School of Life' I have high expectations.
This book was very informative and I liked the way the book is broken into smaller chunks. It made it much easier to read. It was also very helpful when going through mental illness and concentration isn't great.
The book includes images but I don't know why. It didn't help with understanding, and it didn't add to anything.
Overall this was a good little book that had tons of info in it. It covers a variety of topics so it's a good insight for beginners.

This book was more of an overarching look at mental illness now and in the past. It appears to be for those who are just starting to look into getting help for their illness and breaking down some of the assumptions and stigmas that come with that. It was very well written and put together. Great starting place for someone who is struggling with or has a loved one struggling with a mental illness.
May 23, 2023
This was a fascinating read about mental illness, there is no shame in being mentally unwell nor needing help. I found the writing very engaging and enlightening to see this condition from another perspective. The school of life explores mental health and its challenges. The book goes into detail around this history, science and also peoples personal experiences regarding mental health and the complexity. Thank you for this Arc

ترجمهی علیرضا شفیعی نسب رو خوندم.
حس میکنم کتابهای دیگهای که از دو باتن خونده بودم بهتر بودن اگرچه که از حق نگذریم، برخی از قسمتهای کتاب توصیفها و پیشنهادات جالبی داشت.
در جریان خوندنم کمی گسست ایجاد شد که کاش نمیشد اما جملهی مورد علاقهم از قسمتهای آخر کتاب اینه: «این یکی از ویژگیهای غیرمنتظرهی حیات ذهنیست که آنچه خود را در قالب اضطراب نشان میدهد؛ در بیشتر موارد فقط تجلی خودتردیدی شدید است.»

کتاب های آلن دوباتن بیشتر حالت تسلی بخشی دارن و مارو با زبون خودمونی با یه سری واقعیت ها رو به رو میکنن ولی نمیشد بهشون گفت بهترین کتاب روانشناسی
من خودم به شخصه از خوندن کتاب هاش لذت میبرم(مخصوصا سری مدرسه زندگی) و بهم حس خوبی میدن و باعث میشن که ذهن و افکارم نظم بگیرن.
بسته به شخصیت و برداشتتون یا لذت میبرید یا متنفر میشید
این کتاب درباره موضوعات مختلف به صورت پراکنده حرف زد و مثل یک جلسه تراپی بود ولی در حد یک جلسه، نه بیشتر!

The School of Life: On Mental Illness is a thematic read on the power art can have on our sense of calm. The cover art alone is both simple and tranquil, which spills perfectly onto the pages. On Mental Illness explores the mind and how different artworks can have a deeper, calmer impact on your mental health.

This is a very informative book on mental illness and how to navigate through episodes and be kind to oneself. It details ways in which you can learn and be self aware for further episodes.
I would definitely recommend this book.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Provides simple yet powerful explanations to explain the why's and how's of mental illnesses. Understanding is a great first step towards healing. Helps me with mental questions to ask and confront myself with. Makes me more empathetic with myself and my own struggles.
December 2, 2022
Well, I think it could really sooth or calmer for people who really needed this book. For me, I think it's fine. And it's too slow for my kind of reading. Also inside the book is something that I already know. But nevertheless, it's fine to read.

This book was comforting on so many levels. I find the School of Life series so relaxing because I’m constantly thinking ‘oh, good, someone gets it.’ Reading these books is a great exhale, and I think often how different the world could be if emotional intelligence were taught in school.
June 7, 2023
Picked the book up because I liked the cover art. I loved the different artworks incorporated into the book as well.
Very solid book on misconceptions of mental illness, where it stems from, how to help others, and how to help yourself.

not the most helpful if u’re alrdy into psychology but it introduces concepts to be easily palatable for those who are new to the topic! interesting references to art but writing seems a bit flowery for my liking esp for smt like mental illness 😵💫😵💫😵💫

Aku belajar banyak dari buku ini khusus nya tentang mental illness. Jadi sadar juga kalau mental illness adalah penyakit yang bisa menyerang siapa saja, termaksud aku atau bahkan orang-orang disekitarku. Mungkin, mungkin kita cuman engga sadar, atau tutup mata.

Lil book I picked up when I wasn’t doing well. I’m doing better now. Not because of the book. But the book did remind me of a combination of things my therapist and my yoga teacher would say, which are often things I already know, but just need reminding of.

this book hit me so so hard in the best and worst way. i’m praying for ppl who goin thru mental health problems and i hope we would treat each other with more compassion, clarity and less destruction 🥹
