The Number-One French Best Seller

More than 3 Million Copies Sold Worldwide

The feel-good number-one best-selling French novel about a woman whose mission to cure her "routine-itis" leads her to lasting joy and true fulfillment, for fans of The Alchemist and Hector and the Search for Happiness.

At 38 and a quarter years old, Paris native Camille has everything she needs to be happy, or so it seems: a good job, a loving husband, a wonderful son. Why, then, does she feel as if happiness has slipped through her fingers? All she wants is to find the path to joy.

When Claude, a French Sean Connery lookalike and routinologist, offers his unique advice to help get her there, she seizes the opportunity with both hands. Camille's journey is full of surprising escapades, creative capers, and deep meaning as she sets out to transform her life and realize her dreams one step at a time....

Critic reviews

“[A] charming, feel-good story...funny, sweet, and not without a few important happy-life tips.” (Good Housekeeping)

“A good pick for readers who are looking for a lighter take on Eat, Pray, Love. A fast, feel-good story about finding happiness.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A one-sitting read, because we all resemble Camille to some degree, and we’d all love to do what she does. So, what if we gave it a go...?” (Femme Actuelle, France)

i loved that the book was a about a person with a great family still struggling with self. i have read many self help books, but they rarely included a dynamic that is relatable. It has all the same concepts as most books, but because the story has similar dynamics i am able to actualize.

great self help. i enjoyed the story format.
