Big Ideas for Curious Minds: An Introduction to Philosophy, written by The School of Life, edited by Alain de Botton, and illustrated by Anna Doherty, distills ideas from 25 philosophers into accessible, self-help-framed chapters designed to help children ages 9 and up engage with fundamental questions about how to live. Publishers Weekly called it "a useful, if narrow, introduction to emotional intelligence via philosophical thought," and critical coverage named it among its Best Children's Books of 2018 — a strong reception for an illustrated children's philosophy title with a distinctly practical bent.

Alain de Botton's The Consolations of Philosophy is a non-fiction work structured around six philosophers — Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche — each paired with a common human affliction, from unpopularity and financial anxiety to heartbreak and suffering. Originally published by Hamish Hamilton in 2000 and subsequently reissued by Penguin Books, it drew glowing praise from major outlets for its charm, playfulness, and accessibility, while a minority of academic critics argued its popularising approach came at the cost of philosophical rigour. It remains one of the more widely read and discussed attempts to bring ancient and modern philosophy into the orbit of everyday emotional life.

Kirkus Reviews awarded it their "Get It" verdict, calling it "funny, honest, and heart-wrenching," and the book delivers exactly what its title promises: the dates are, indeed, really bad.
