"Dans un monde qui bouge, il vaut mieux penser le changement que changer le pansement", avait prévenu le regretté Francis Blanche. Pourtant dans notre montre qui bouge, le changement n'est pas toujours bien pensé.

Il destinatario di quest'opera è il combattente ideale, che applica la saggezza alla propria sfera d'azione e il cui obiettivo è ottenere il massimo risultato con il minimo dispendio di energie.
