In the sense that it feels like a self-improvement strategy couched in a novel, this book sort of reminded me of [b:The Alchemist|865|The Alchemist|Paulo Coelho|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1287827991s/865.jpg|4835472].

But I tried three times to read The Alchemist, and ultimately had to admit that I despised that book. Although I felt some parts were a bit slow and some of the points being made sort of laced the edges of pushy, I liked this novel. I enjoyed the tasks Alan was challenged to undertake and did often think about my own tendencies towards some of the same weaknesses and lack of self-confidence and I found the strategies intriguing.

I would like to try more of Gounelle's works, based on the things I liked about this one, but it does appear at this point that it is his only one currently translated into English. My French is so abysmal that I'm not even certain that any of his other books are novels or maybe just straight self-improvement books. I'm inclined to think I would actually better appreciate a straightforward self-improvement or philosophy book written by him.

Неймовірна книга, яку я буду рекомендувати кожному!
Незважаючи на назву книги тут зовсім не про релігію, а зовсім про інше)

A masterpiece! 

Це не тільки книга з дуже цікавим сюжетом, але також наповнена чудовими ідеями щодо зміни своєї поведінки. І історія вся відбувається в Парижі, що також, саме по-собі, дуже непогано :)

Уявіть: життя склалося так, що ви відчуваєте себе перегруженими, розчарованими і зневіреними. Потім нізвідки появляється незнайомець і пропонує повернути вас назад до нормального і щасливого життя. Але за однієї умови: ви повинні виконати усі завдання, які він вам дасть. І найголовніше, на кону буде ваше життя.

Ймовірний сценарій? Напевно, ні. Але це відбулося з Аланом Грінмором, молодим рекрутером, який збирався покінчити зі всім, поки не зустрів Іва Дубрея. Алан - це людина, яка вирішує ризикнути, щоб знову відчути себе живим.

Автор книги, Лоран Гунель, фахівець з особистого розвитку та керівник міжнародних семінарів, написав цю книгу, щоб допомогти нам зрозуміти принципи нейролінгвістичного програмування (НЛП), спочатку зообразивши себе, як “lowly employee”, якому бракує впевненості у собі і який кардинально змінює це до останньої глави.
