The answer to overwork and burnout, the route to fulfilment and success: letting go.
A thought-provoking and delightful book -- Simeon House * Daily Mail *
[An] amusing and interesting read; even Pourriol's description of his approach to the material is a lesson in the laissez-faire outlook* Booklist *
A compelling look at the French attitude toward making things look easy ... For lovers of all things French, but also for those who enjoy philosophy and self-help books that discuss working smarter, not harder. * Library Journal *
A laissez-faire guide to self-help. This is a book for those who aspire to the déshabillé, Serge-Gainsbourg-and-Jane-Birkin-morning-after look and the studied negligence of the Parisian Bobo (bourgeois-bohemian). * The Times *
