The Butterfly Effect 1

The Butterfly Effect 1

La vie en rose: Manual (Paperback)

Customer Review

This little book to the modest appearance hides his play. A small square book, with the cover of a pink shimmering, illustrated with a little guy deploying butterfly wings ... And yet it conceals an extremely ambitious project. The choice of the butterfly is not a coincidence. It refers to the theory known as the Butterfly Effect: the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil could cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. What relationship with the book? The aim of the author is simple yet extremely ambitious: to move the world a little, even a billionth of a millimeter.
What? Dominique Glocheux proposes through 512 items to improve her daily by finding the joy of simple things and yet so obvious but is often overlooked because of the pressures of modern life, the social, decorum, etc. . There are so many little ideas all animals to please or be pleased, thoughts to make daily life more cheerful, nicer and sometimes also food for thought.
Everything is unfortunately not good to take in this book. First, because there are some repetitions. On the other hand, what is more embarrassing, there are some contradictions. These proposals are like proverbs: for every proverb, there is often the opposite. Other proposals still seem quite questionable on what they can bring.
Despite its small flaws, "La vie en rose" is a small very fresh book that does not fully reach the expected goal, but allows to approach it by bringing a bit of whimsy to the dull daily. Personally, he found his place at my bedside. I open it from time to time when my heart is sad to a random page and read the first proposal that I see. It often helps me find a little joy and makes me lift your heart.
A small sample of the proposals that we can find to put you in the mouth:
17. Take a risk daily. Even little early.
21. Proofread The Little Prince of Saint-Exupéry.
28. Do what you love most. Do it often. And soon find ways to pay you to do it.
30. When we do not know where you are going, it could happen anywhere. Or worse: nowhere. Choose YOUR direction.
32. Give many gifts. Even toddlers.
43. Always keep a bottle of champagne on ice.
63. Call people by name -or prénom-: what they think, what is for them a most enjoyable music.
76. Learn to milk a cow.
90. Never start with "I should not say this, but ..." Hold your tongue.
95. Make good thing is THE one million times MORE than doing things: be efficient, not effective.
150. Move your watch 8 minutes.
211. Take a kitten in your arms. Hear him purr.
233. Take those you love in your arms. Especially without any special reason.
And many others ...
