Inspiration Card Set
€28.00
Whatever our job title, our work will always benefit from new ideas and fresh ways of thinking. We’re used to regard inspiration as something that arrives more or less at random; it is a skill that we can learn to develop in ourselves and call on whenever we need it.
The Inspiration Card Set by The School of Life is a toolkit for generating new ideas: 52 exercises designed to foster an inventive frame of mind. With this to hand, we have no more need to wait for inspiration to strike; we can kindle it and deploy it as we require it. Each exercise prompts us to work on a particular creative muscle and helps us to establish the psychological conditions for original work. Drawing insights from the worlds of art, music, psychotherapy, and innovation, this is an invaluable resource for creatives and professionals alike, helping our minds to become more reliable lightning rods for our numerous flashes of inspiration.

The Therapy Game
€35.00
The Therapy GameLearn to Talk. Learn to Listen.
When we end up in a really good conversation with a friend, we sometimes pay them a slightly unusual but sincere compliment: we say that chatting to them feels like talking to a good therapist.
What we tend to mean is that they’re giving us space to talk, they’re not interrupting us or pushing their own advice aggressively forward: they’re properly listening.
This game cannot turn us into real therapists (that would take years of training). But like many good games (ones about flying or being a detective for example), it gives us a chance to try out, entertainingly but safely, one of the most interesting sides of a great profession. The Therapy Game offers us a rare opportunity to listen and speak to one another at truly fulfilling length and depth.
The cards cover five categories:
- Work
- Sex
- Relationships
- Anxiety
- Self
Questions cover topics such as:
- Who do you need to impress?
- What did you learn about relationships from your parents?
- If you were a friend of yours, what would you tell yourself about the challenges you face?
- Around what features of your character does your self-hatred focus?
Contains adult content.

Dankbarkeit / Gratitude Cards
€20.00
A set of 60 cards to remind us of the many reasons we have to be thankful.
We are experts at focusing on what is missing from our lives. Our dissatisfaction often serves us well; it keeps us from complacency and boredom. But we are also dragged down by a pernicious inability to stop, take stock and recognise what isn't imperfect and appalling.
We are experts at focusing on what is missing from our lives. Our dissatisfaction often serves us well; it keeps us from complacency and boredom. But we are also dragged down by a pernicious inability to stop, take stock and recognize what isn't imperfect and appalling.
In our haste to secure the future, we omit to notice what is already very good. This pack of cards is designed to help us pause in our striving and, for a few moments, take on board some of what we have to be grateful for - a consoling, inspiring corrective to the lessons in cynicism and sourness that the world teaches every day.
Example cards:
- There were no outright catastrophes today.
- Others forget the stupid things we’ve done faster than we do.
- We can reinvent ourselves – a bit.
- Other people are usually shyer, sweeter and kinder than we’d anticipated.
- We have managed to learn a few things down the years.
- We don’t have to take ourselves seriously.
- Many of the people we love are still alive.
- We could disappear for a bit.
- Many of the world’s most interesting people have written down their thoughts.
