THE #1 FRENCH BESTSELLER MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE The feel-good #1 bestselling 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 thirty-eight 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 look-alike 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...

I have always loved stories about unconventional teachers, so this light read hit that target. The novel felt like the love child of “Hector and the Search for Happiness” and the Canadian TV Series “Being Erica” (without the time travel). It'd probably be an especially nice read for anybody who is new to personal development/therapy but doesn't want to read nonfiction books (or who doesn't like reading books on a whole). It can be read in one sitting. Overall, “Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One” was super cute and heartfelt.

(I'm guessing that if the me of ten years ago was asked to give a rating, it'd be five stars.)
