It can be hard to decide what we really want to achieve in our lives; our ambitions are often scattered, diverse and difficult to pin down.
The School of Life What Do I Really Want to Achieve? is a toolkit for helping us focus on what we need to be fulfilled, so that we can direct our energies and thoughts most effectively.

The box contains 160 cards detailing our most common ambitions and longings, along with instructions on how to reflect on our goals, arrange them in a logical order of priorities and, where necessary, weigh up trade-offs.

Using the cards will help us to reveal our true purpose. The cards can be displayed, photographed or kept close to hand as a reminder of the path ahead.

Along with the 160 cards is a booklet where you’ll find six exercises for using the cards, but don’t feel obliged to use any of them: you might just want to arrange the cards yourself according to whatever order comes to mind.

The School of Life at Misc-store Amsterdam

At Misc-store we carry three Writing as Therapy Journals: Journeys, Night Thoughts and Projects. We also carry their prompt cards for confidence, self knowledge and even career crisis, and we love their books on Small Pleasures.

The School of Life is devoted to developing emotional intelligence through the help of culture. We address such issues as how to find fulfilling work, how to master the art of relationships, how to understand ones past, how to achieve calm and how better to understand, and where necessary change, the world.

We love The School of Life because their items make a great gift for ourselves and others. Back in 2013 we started with a range of The School of Life items in store, and we are so happy that we can extend our range with all their new items, focusing on the job we have, appreciating small pleasures and the things that might go unnoticed.
