The School of Life - The Meaning of Life Cards

The Brand

The School of Life is an organisation built to help us find calm, self-understanding, resilience, and connection especially during troubled times. We place emphasis on the need to understand ourselves better, so that we can secure serenity and make optimally reliable decisions, particularly around love and work. Our ideas are divided into six key topics, that together contribute to the calmer, more resilient and self-aware lives we deserve: Self-Knowledge, Relationships, Work, Calm, Sociability, Leisure & Culture

Features

A pack of 52 cards to help us understand what truly matters through deep and entertaining conversation. We sometimes playfully wonder what the meaning of life might be - but it can be hard to kick start a conversation with ourselves (let alone with anyone else) around such a daunting subject.

Here are 52 cards that directly and elegantly lead us to some of the largest questions about life and its meaning – cards that help us and our companions to think with exceptional depth about what truly matters, where we see ourselves heading and what gives life its purpose. This is a tool for direction, clarity – and some of the deepest yet most fun and entertaining conversations we’ll ever have.

Instructions

1. Introduce your friends gently to the topic in this card set. Tell them, with a smile, that you’ll be drilling into nothing less than ‘the meaning of life’. Watch them shudder, laugh with them, but then keep going.

2. Put the cards face down on a table between you.

3. Take it in turns to pick a card. Answer with complete sincerity and as much depth as you can muster – but don’t avoid laughter where it’s called for. Watch your ideas about yourself achieve new focus.

4. This game can happily be played on your own, for example, as a prompt when writing a diary.
