The university of life

Wednesday, 23rd September 2009

I have to admit that I'd never even heard of The School of Life until Sunday, when I went for a coffee with my eldest son, who's just starting university. I looked across the road, and there was the eye-catching slogan. The evening after I dropped my boy off in the big city he was mugged down in Elephant & Castle. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt. Not having read any of Alain de Botton’s books, I don't know what his advice would be.
