What gives life meaning? A question we’ve all circled – sometimes in quiet moments, sometimes mid-commute. This little book doesn't promise all the answers, but it does offer something better: the tools to ask the right questions.
From the thinkers at The School of Life, The Meaning of Life explores the threads that make life feel rich – love, work, friendship, philosophy, nature and more. It’s a pocket-sized guide to the big stuff, helping you tune into what really matters and gently nudging you toward a life with more depth and self-knowledge.
Thought-provoking yet practical, it’s ideal for anyone who likes their philosophy with a side of quiet reflection and their books with a beautiful cover.

I would expect nothing less from Papersmiths but these notebooks are so lovely! They look so cute and the paper is so thick and smooth. I love mine for journaling and notetaking. Highly recommend!
Perfect size, love that it’s easily refillable, can’t fault it :)
Beautiful pen that writes finely and smoothly and is a nice shape to hold.
Arrived quickly and in lovely packaging. Nice quality paper. Thank you!
I have a 24/25 planner from this company and had to seek out the one for 25/26. This cover is beautiful and I'm so excited to get planning for the coming year :)
I love these notebooks. I had this one from a previous purchase at another shop, and was elated to find them again here at Papersmiths. Bought 2 more in the green colour. Highly recommend.
I already have a leather passport notebook. I bought it in the Brighton shop, which I visit regularly. About two months ago. I travel periodically, and my actual passport accumulates visas, entry and exit stamps, scuffs, and creases. My passport notebook will collect memories, dreams, and reflections, as well as scuffs, scars and creases, as I travel. I bought the online one as a present for a fellow traveller who is also a keen notebook keeper. I love the replaceable inserts as I can collect them together in a box full of memories. I might also use the box from Papersmiths. My friend was as delighted with the passport notebook as I am.
I’ve been searching for the right notebook to use for my next journal, this one is just right.
Great size, gorgeous colour & soft cover. The pages are just the right thickness for the pens I like to use.
It came beautifully wrapped. I’ll definitely buy again.
Perfect for putting hair clips in for when I’m getting ready on the go. I also love the lilac and green colour combo. Very cute!
A beautiful, thick paper notebook. Lovely to write in.
Gave this to my note writing husband....loved it. Excellent service and quality.
Excuse the pun, it was a present and well received by the recipient. Caran D’ache pens are lovely to use and this one was admired by the recipient on a visit to the Brighton store. Excellent service.
Papersmiths is a gem- beautiful pens, gorgeous packaging and the sweetest personal touches. They even included a handwritten thank you card with our order. I also needed to cancel something i bought by mistake and they sorted it immediately - super attentive, quick and on it! Such a lovely experience from start to finish!
Nice flowing fineline pens, good colour.
I bought the notebooks as gifts so didn’t want to disturb the nice wrapping to look at them properly but I wanted to write a review as a compliment to the excellent service that I received. Thank you.
