A guide to better collaboration

The School of Life has been working with organisations since its foundation, releasing the latent talents of employees and equipping them with the emotional intelligence required to succeed. This book compresses our learning into a series of lessons on workplace psychology. The result is an essential guide to more profitable, harmonious and happier organisations.

The most difficult aspect of work has nothing to do with profitability or deadlines or competition. It has to do with the immense and beautiful challenges of dealing, on an ongoing basis, with that often amazing but always complicated entity known as the colleague. Our colleagues can be the sources of our greatest joys and triumphs: they compensate for our weaknesses, enlarge our strengths and aggregate our energies. However, working successfully around others is neither intuitive nor simple: it requires us to communicate effectively, to understand our own minds and blind spots, to master our emotions and to see the world from other people's perspectives.

Olivia ★★★★★

I was skeptical a book could actually improve how I interact at work, but the sections on emotional intelligence really reframed how I listen during disagreements. A colleague even asked what I'd been reading because our project meetings felt less tense.

Kevin H. ★★★★★

The exercises at the end of each chapter actually made me rethink how I handle passive-aggressive emails, and I’ve already used one tactic in a meeting this week. It’s a quick read, but the ideas have stuck with me more than I expected.

Isabella ★★★★★

The chapters on navigating awkward small talk actually made me cringe less in the kitchen at work, which is a win. It’s more about emotional intelligence than generic tips, and the short essays are easy to read on a commute. I’ve already passed it to two teammates.
