How to make a success of life?
Education is increasingly centered around the acquisition of savoir-faire, to the detriment of learning how to be. It prepares us more to face the external challenges of existence rather than the inner ones, such as how to be at peace with oneself and with others, how to handle suffering, how to know ourselves and resolve our own contradictions, how to acquire true inner freedom, and how to love? And finally, how to know true happiness, which is as much a function of the quality of relations with oneself and with others as it is a question of social success and the acquisition of material goods. Sages the world over, from Socrates to Spinoza, including Buddha, Jesus, and Montaigne, have given us the keys to enrich our inner existence and live in a fully human manner: let go and say yes to life, know oneself and learn to be discerning, live in the present, control oneself and acquire virtues, find an inner silence, know how to choose and how to pardon, among many other things. Frédéric Lenoir demonstrates that these keys of universal wisdom have lost none of their pertinence. Sharing his own personal experience, in a clear and accessible style, he offers to all a “little treatise” that helps one to live.
