Wisdom explained to those who seek it

Presentation

“ You undoubtedly aspire, dear reader, to a successful life. Not necessarily to achieve success in life, but to lead a good and happy existence. Throughout history, all over the world, men and women have nurtured this aspiration and worked to realize it. They all believe that what gives meaning to our lives is growing in humanity. For my part, I am convinced that this philosophical ideal of wisdom remains the object of a quest that is more relevant than ever, because we are not on earth only to ensure our material security, entertain ourselves, and consume.”

How to be oneself and in harmony with the world? How to become more loving and virtuous? How to find the path to inner liberation? How to grow in joy and find serenity? These are all questions that Frédéric Lenoir, himself in search of wisdom since adolescence, answers with sincerity and simplicity, leading us along in the footsteps of his inspirers, such as Epicurus, Epictetus, the Buddha, Zhuangzi, Montaigne, Spinoza or Etty Hillesum, even drawing inspiration from the wisdom of children.

A luminous and profound book, like wisdom itself.
