Learn the Language of Emotional Intelligence.
A dictionary is a guide to the language. This dictionary is for the distinctive language that The School of Life speaks: that of emotions. It is a selection of over 160 words and phrases that shed light on our feelings about ourselves, other people, and the workings of the modern world.
Too often, we struggle to find the right words to explain what we mean; this dictionary is a tool to help us convey our true intentions with economy and precision.
The School of Life an organisation dedicated to making sense of our emotional lives offers us a complete vocabulary with which to understand some of our key emotional states and ideas and to express them succinctly and successfully to the world.
Featured Definitions:
Charity of Interpretation
Seeing that another person's bad behaviour is not a sign of wickedness or sin, but is a result of suffering.
Cultural Mining
Cultural mining describes the process by which the most valuable parts of culture by which we mean the arts, humanities and philosophy are recovered from their original contexts and made useful for our own times.
Impostor Syndrome
To be held back by the crippling thought that people like us could not possibly triumph given what we know of ourselves
Pessimism
A pessimist is someone who calmly assumes from the outset, and with a great deal of justification, that things tend to turn out badly in almost all areas of existence. Strange though it can sound, pessimism is one of the greatest sources of human serenity and contentment.
Psychological Asymmetry
One of the most basic facts about the human condition is that we know ourselves from the inside, but know others only from what they choose or are able to tell us a far more limited and edited set of data.
Sentimentality
Sentimentality is a permanent temptation of our minds, resulting from squeamishness around excessively unpleasant evidence and ideas.
Transference
Transference is a psychological phenomenon whereby a situation in the present elicits from us a response generally extreme, intense or rigid in nature that we cobbled together in childhood to meet a threat that we were at that time too vulnerable, immature and inexperienced to cope with properly.
Vocation Myth
The Vocation Myth is the belief in the spontaneous revelation of our professional destiny: well simply know in time what we need to do work-wise.
