Book Review Great Thinkers by The School of Life

Six WordπŸ“šSummary: Great Thinkers Come From Great Thinkers

Novelist Leo Tolstoy believed in the novel not as a source of entertainment but as a tool for psychological education and reform. It is the supreme medium by which we can get to know others, especially those who might seem unappealing from the outside, and expand our humanity and tolerance. Highly recommend Great Thinkers by The School of Life, sharing a collection of 60 individuals who represent some of the most important ideas of Eastern and Western culture - drawn from philosophers, political theorists, sociologists, artists, and novelists.

This was one of my top reads in the past year, and I highly recommend checking out The School of Life for developing emotional intelligence. Some of the thinkers that this book will share are the following:

  • Plato
  • Aristotle
  • Friedrich Nietzsche
  • Niccolo Machiavelli
  • John Ruskin
  • Confucius
  • Lao Tzu
  • Max Weber
  • Margaret Mead
  • Sigmund Freud
  • Coco Chanel
  • Andy Warhol
  • Jane Austen


Grateful to have had the opportunity to read this book while cruising around New Zealand and Australia. Thank you to Emily Beam and Nicklas Remington Bajema for taking the fantastic pics! And what a beautiful area of the world being Milford Sounds, New Zealand. Highly reccomend taking the time in your life to make it to Milford Sounds and experience the majesticness.

My favorite Quote from Great Thinkers

"Remembering that we all must die Should move the hardest heart to tenderness; Are we not required to show others The best kindness we ourselves have known?" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
