How Emotionally Mature Are You? a book by THE SCHOOL OF LIFE

We all know our physical age, but what is our emotional age?

A guide to psychological adulthood.
This book helps us understand what emotional maturity really looks like — and offers a practical, compassionate path toward becoming calmer, kinder and more resilient.

Discover your emotional age.
With a revealing questionnaire this book guides us to reflect on how we respond to rejection, frustration, uncertainty and hope – and what those patterns reveal about our inner development.

Essays on growth, self-love and imperfection. Alongside the questionnaire, short essays explore how our childhoods shape us, how we can overcome impostor syndrome, and what it means to truly believe in ourselves.

Candid, wise and psychologically informed.
Written with The School of Life’s signature tone, this book brings clarity to the often confusing territory of emotional maturity.

From The School of Life.
A trusted voice in emotional intelligence and well-being, The School of Life is here to help us become more self-aware, less frightened, and more joyfully grown-up.
