A book of psychological tests, questions, and exercises, and how they can help you get to know yourself better

We spend our lives inside ourselves and yet understanding our inner world remains one of our most complex challenges. In this enlightening book, The School of Life have collected over 50 transformative psychological tests developed by renowned psychologists and psychotherapists, designed to illuminate the hidden dimensions of our psyches.

Through gentle and insightful explanation, this book reveals the workings behind each test, how they were developed, and what we might learn from them.  Exercises such the revealing Word Association Test and the profound Kinetic Family Drawing exercise encourage us to look beneath the surface of your conscious thoughts to consider the subtle narratives that shape your emotions, relationships and sense of self. 

Each test is an invitation to explore your unspoken fears, your deepest desires and the unconscious patterns that drive your behaviours, providing unprecedented insight into your inner workings.
