Destinations to inspire and enchant.
Shift your perspective as you explore the world from the comfort of your own home with the School of Life's inspiring A Therapeutic Atlas.
The world is full of places that inspire and bring us joy: they might be exceptionally beautiful, resonant with history, untouched by civilisation or rich in memory.
This is an atlas that gathers together some of the most enchanting and reinvigorating places around the world in order to heal and captivate, including beautiful destinations in Greece, Italy, Japan, America, Chile and Australia, to name but a few. We're taken to the tops of mountains, solitary cliffs, elegant cities and also some less expected locations: airports, hydroelectric stations and meteorite craters.
Great travellers have always known that travelling can broaden the mind; here we see how it can also heal it. A Therapeutic Atlas reminds us that the world is far broader and more inspiring than we tend to appreciate day to day. Tempting images are combined with short essays that discuss the power of particular places to help us with the difficulties of being human. We locate places that are therapeutic because they coax us out of familiar patterns of thought and liberate our minds.
This is a book that can be read when travelling, as a real-life atlas, but as importantly, when travel is difficult, it reminds us that there is no place like home and the sanctuary of our own bed.
Taking you to beautiful destinations in Greece, Italy, Japan, America, Chile and Australia, A Therapeutic Atlas charts a course between mountaintops, solitary cliffs, airports and meteorite craters to help shake you out of familiar patterns, and broaden your mind in the way that only travel can. While intended for use at home, A Therapeutic Atlas can also serve as a way to plan your own adventures to unexpected places.
