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....

Critic reviews

“[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)

Simple but helpful

This book is predictable but there are still good nuggets in there to help someone consider things from a different perspective. I enjoyed it.

Great reading for road trip

My first ever audiobook listening. Loved the narrator; Fiona.
I think it’s important after my first listening that narrative does great job to get us involved as much in the book as if we were reading it.

great self help. i enjoyed the story format.

i loved that the book was a about a person with a great family still struggling with self. i have read many self help books, but they rarely included a dynamic that is relatable. It has all the same concepts as most books, but because the story has similar dynamics i am able to actualize.

Self Help and a Novel

There are many great ideas to get out of a slump. And the love story is a good one too! I love the idea of a Routineologist. Clever book.

I found the story entertaining & the subject helpful

I very much liked the narrators voices and tones, the story kept me interested while the advice was very helpful. Using the story up illustrate it without being textbook like kept me excited for each chapter. I was a little sad when it was over, would have loved to continue listening. Very much enjoyed and learned from it,
