School of Practical Philosophy

From its founding in New York in 1964, The School of Practical Philosophy is a not-for-profit organization presenting what the great teachers of mankind have taught about the true nature of humanity, our purpose in the creation, and how to live a happy, full and useful life. Since that time, men and women have come to the School to simplify their lives and realize these benefits. They have found guidance that is both systematic and caring; techniques that are simple yet effective; and the good company of others reaching for the finest principles and applying them for the good of all. Hospitality is the first rule of the School. This helps ensure a generous spirit of love in which wisdom naturally flourishes. As such, the School is entirely staffed by its own students on a purely voluntary basis. The tutors are students themselves who have studied this philosophy for many years. They serve without receiving any monetary compensation because they want others to benefit from this knowledge as well.
