In the following chapters, I'll share some of my own stories, as well as helpful pointers and tips you can use to help you in your daily life. I’ve also included themes I hear a lot in my private practice therapy sessions, as I feel like these are often very relevant outside of the therapy room too.

La Provence, c'est pour Daudet une certaine réalité morale, dont il dégage l'originalité. Cette réalité c'est, par-delà la pauvreté et la rudesse de ces existences, un goût méditerranéen de la vie. C'est aussi, par contraste avec la futilité des sentiments parisiens, un relief dû à la puissance des passions qui animent le peuple : passion de Maître Cornille acharné à nier le temps présent et à maintenir malgré tout son moulin en activité ; passion naïve et têtue de Blanquette, la petite chèvre, pour la liberté et le grand mystère de la montagne.
