Art as Therapy

We often hear that art is very important, but not many people say exactly why. Alain de Botton and John Armstrong believe that art can help us with our most intimate and ordinary dilemmas: Why shouldn't work be more satisfying? Why are other people's lives more attractive? How can I improve my relationships? Why is politics so depressing?

Art as Therapy proposes a new method of interpreting art: Art as a form of therapy that provides effective solutions to many of life's problems.

The School of Life project, which was first implemented by Alain de Botton in London in 2008, invites participants to discover and discuss smart and good living alternatives through the approaches and guidance offered by philosophy, literature, psychoanalysis and visual arts:
-How can we realize our potential?
-How can we keep love fit?
-How do we make a difference?
-How do we become creative?
-How do we manage to stay calm?
