PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ollivier Pourriol is a philosopher, writer and prize-winning novelist, who has been exploring the art of living, ambition and creativity for over twenty years. He has lectured at the Paris Philharmonie, the Maison de la Poesie and many cinemas, where his lectures mixing philosophy and cinema are widely attended. Throughout his work he explores the role of imagination in our lives, and easier ways to reach our goals. He lives in Paris, where he puts his ideas into practice over aperitifs with friends.
'A thought-provoking and delightful book' - Simeon House '[An] amusing and interesting read; even Pourriol's description of his approach to the material is a lesson in the laissez-faire outlook.' - Booklist 'A compelling look at the French attitude toward making things look easy ... For lovers of all things French, but also for those who enjoy philosophy and self-help books that discuss working smarter, not harder.' - Library Journal 'A laissez-faire guide to self-help. This is a book for those who aspire to the deshabille, Serge-Gainsbourg-and-Jane-Birkin-morning-after look and the studied negligence of the Parisian Bobo (bourgeois-bohemian).' - The Times
