Product description

During a trip to Seoul, Éric has such a profound experience that he decides to take control of his own destiny. Bestselling author David Foenkinos tells the story of new beginnings like no other, and why we should all dare to make them. While on a business trip, Éric Kherson wanders wearily and burnt through the streets of Seoul and stumbles upon Happy Life – a place offering a self-help ritual of arranging one's own fake funeral. Éric spontaneously agrees.

Surrounded by silence and darkness, he suddenly realizes what truly matters in life. With his life coming to an end, the forty-year-old decides to start anew. Back in Paris, Éric quits his job, finally dedicates himself to his son, reconnects with his mother, and introduces the Korean ritual to France. Business booms. His former boss, Amélie, finds out about it. She visits Éric because she is finally ready for a change. It is the beginning of a tender new love. Charming and profound, David Foenkinos shows us that we can change our lives at any time—we just have to dare. (Biography)
