What the book contains
From the question of meaning to everyday actions
The book moves from the “Why” to the “How”, then to what gets in the way and what remains. Each chapter ends with exercises and a summary of the essentials.
Exercise 1: Moments of meaning
A writing exercise, with no right or wrong answer
- Remember. Pick three moments in your life when you felt a deep sense of meaning. A simple instant counts as much as a major event.
- Write it down. What were you doing? Who was with you? What did you feel, in your body as much as in your mind?
- Read it back. Out loud if possible: which themes come back? What does it reveal about what gives your life meaning?
Adapted excerpt from the chapter 1 exercise. Each chapter ends with three or four exercises of this kind and a summary.
More than a text to read: a book to practise
- Exercises in every chapterThree or four exercises at the end of each chapter, to move from reading to practice.
- The essentials to keepA short summary at the end of each chapter, to keep the thread.

Who it is for
A book to open when a question keeps following you
You are effective, but…
Everything looks fine, and yet you wonder whether you are missing something important.
You have dreams, little method
The aspirations are there. What is missing are concrete steps to achieve them.
You are going through a transition
A career change, a new relationship, a move: you are looking for a landmark to move forward.
An honest guide, with no exaggerated promises
This book offers no miracle recipes and no promises of success in seven days. It guarantees no result, is tied to no religion and does not replace the advice of a health professional. It offers questions, landmarks and exercises: the answers are yours. An appendix lists the sources of help to know in case of distress.
