Invitation to reflect on our consumer society

The philosopher who was not wise (Paperback)

Customer Review

Laurent leaves Gounelle psychology and personal development for philosophy (at large).
He takes us on a forest adventure with an Amazonian tribe.

Easy and enjoyable read, without surprise but effective scenario.
Characters with a certain thickness and endearing.

What makes interest, in my opinion, the work is the reflection of our Western values: It develops the idea that we "make ourselves our misfortune" by growing individualism, consumerism, materialism, worship of "winner "etc and contrasts (in a very original way I will not say anything to let the reader discover) a happy tribe cultivating more essential and close to nature values.

This philosophical reflection is relatively simple, some might say simplistic or popular, for my part I found several very fair and wonderfully interesting ideas, the invitation to reflect continuing beyond the book.
