La Vie en Rose: The Little Book of Joy [Paperback]

Dominique Glocheux (Author), Elisabeth Griffart-Meissner (Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2004

Dominique Glocheux’s life as a powerful Parisian businessman changed dramatically when he was struck by a taxi while walking along the Champs-Elysées in 1987. After spending four months in a coma, the author awoke to see the world in a new and inspiring light. Glocheux shares his powerful message of personal fulfillment and happiness in LA VIA EN ROSE, a charmingly illustrated book based on the insights from his profound personal experience. With more than 500 thoughts to ponder and embrace, LA VIE EN ROSE offers a fresh, invigorating perspective on the challenges and rewards of everyday life—from believing in the magic of love at first sight to stargazing on a gorgeous night to letting go of trying to change the unchangeable. Through Glocheux’s inspired observations, we learn to listen to the whispers of our heart and slow down to appreciate the simple pleasures around us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, Simple, Powerful, June 3, 2002

As a first-time author of a non-fiction book
myself, I was starting to doubt my own
ideas and plans as a writer. Then this simple,
bright little book popped out at me.

This is not a "how-to" kind of book. This is
more of a "why-have-you-waited-so-long?" book.
It's a little friend who always loves and
believes in you! And who the heck doesn't
need that?

And hey... that metallic-winged guy on the
cover is irrestible! (I guess you could tell
that I really loved this book.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A little shining gem !, September 20, 2002

I loved this book. I got a lot out of it. I wish I had read a book like this one when I was growing up : maybe I would've had a happier life. Every line is a word of wisdom and should be read and reread : a wonderful reminder about the important things in life. I've read it many many times. Shared it with so many many friends. I highly recommend this book to everyone - young and old. A great little gift.
