About this listen
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....
©2018 Raphaelle Giordano (P)2018 Penguin AudioWhat the critics say
“[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)

Great ideas
Very interesting ideas for motivation n change. Wasn’t keen on the narrators voice. Found it a bit irritating. But great book

An incredible tale of self discovery
Encroyable! Inspiring. Intriguing. Captivating. An incredible story written like a How-To manual. Take a chance and be pleasantly surprised.

Charming and surprising
Through an unexpected circumstance, the stressed-out Camille meets the mysterious but wise Claude, a “routinologist,” and embarks on a journey to learn more about herself, how to become completely aware, and how to rediscover happiness. Every listener can learn lessons along with Camille about ways to achieve greater well-being.

Need some inspiration or motivation, start here!
I enjoyed the journey Raphaelle took me on. I looked forward to listening to a couple chapters every night before bed. I felt inspired and motivated to tackle some of my own "stuff" and above all, it made me smile. Great performance by Fiona Hardingham. #Audible1

Good read! Keeps you thinking and trying to adjust your own self
The storyline was good. Wish I could’ve figured a way to implement these in a relatable way for myself. But I’m sure if I was to read again and try I could figure something out.
Overall was good. Even the French accent was easy to listen to.
Was able to follow along with characters and context.

Easy read with some good pointers
Good book. There are some basic life lessons intertwined within the story. The reader was wonderful, she even added a French accent to the English version.

No story/plot
I only got 12 chapters into this, but there was no real story. It was just a list of self-improvement ideas that were so cliche I couldn't listen any longer. Maybe the story picked up later on.
