HOW TO SURVIVE THE MODERN WORLD (SCHOOL OF LIFE) (HB)

How to Survive the Modern World is the ultimate guide to navigating our unusual times. It identifies a range of themes that present acute challenges to our mental wellbeing. The book tackles our relationship to the news media, our ideas of love and sex, our assumptions about money and our careers, our attitudes to animals and the natural world, our admiration for science and technology, our belief in individualism and secularism - and our suspicion of quiet and solitude. If modern times are (in part) something of a disease, this is both the diagnostic and the soothing, hope-filled cure.
