This shop is different. A group of philosophers and thinkers behind this concept shop claim that here one can brainstorm and hunt for ideas to live by and browse through different philosophic approaches to life for a healthy and creative future.

The ‘chemist shop for the mind’, School of Life, opened its door in London sometime in September. They sell books, artworks, courses, holidays and therapeutic services to heal the ailing soul by injecting easy cultural solutions. The response has been good so far, even from the Press.  

The concept is not bad. Materialistic world trends have nothing for the soul. Spirituality has been in vogue for precisely the same reason. After Nature Spas and books like Chicken Soup for the soul series this is next step where you can buy complete package of ideas to lives by. But will it work? Can one really sell food for the soul in such one-stop shops?

Only positive aspect of such schools (or shops) is that they enable real life networking by conducting workshops and make it easier to find real people in similar sinking boats of personal angst and agony. This can be best treatment for loneliness, alienation and insecurity, all important byproducts of modern fast life. And if they can do mind healing without bringing religion in, then three cheers for these mind shops!!
