The School of Life: Who am I?
One of the trickiest tasks we ever face is that of working out who we really are. If someone asks us to describe ourselves, our minds tend to go blank. We can’t just sum ourselves up.

The ‘Who am I?’ mindfulness journal (£15) is designed to help us create a psychological portrait of who we are with the use of some unusual, oblique, entertaining and playful prompts. The book is filled with exercises to help us develop our self-understanding within key areas of our lives, including work, sex, compassion and relationships.
