Stoicism Cards: This box of cards gathers together the best insights and sayings from the great Stoic thinkers and marries them with commentaries that bring out their applicability to our lives.

53 cards | 70mm x 100m x 25mm

Emotional Barometer: This is a tool to help us overcome our vagueness: cards that offer definitions of twenty moods that we can all recognise but that can be hard to pin down and explain. Here are descriptions of – among many other things – the sense of feeling weepy, nostalgic, anxious, and dreamy.

Box of twenty cards with movable dial and fold-out stand on box lid | 160 x 115 x 20mm

15 Minute Timer: This hourglass sand timer reminds us to carve out 15 minutes a day for what truly counts. It demarcates a very modest and manageable period to dedicate to the important things we so often let slide – finally writing that letter to an old friend, rationally analysing our career ambitions, or playing in a concentrated way with a child.

Know Yourself Prompt Cards: These cards are designed to assist us in a journey of self-knowledge; they present us with a range of ideas and questions that can help us better understand ourselves. Each card carries an exercise on one side and a piece of analysis on the reverse to help you gain insight and clarity on that ever-elusive subject: yourself.

60 cards in box | 104mm x 73mm x 36mm.

How to Overcome Your Childhood: To an extraordinary and humbling extent, who we are as adults is determined by events that happened to us before our fifteenth birthday. The way we express affection, the sort of people we find appealing, our understanding of success and our approach to work are all shaped by events in childhood.
