About this audiobook
The feel-good #1 bestselling French novel about a woman whose mission to cure her "routine-itis" leads her to lasting joy and true fulfillment, for fans of The Alchemist and Hector and the Search for Happiness.
At thirty-eight and a quarter years old, Paris native Camille has everything she needs to be happy, or so it seems: a good job, a loving husband, a wonderful son. Why then does she feel as if happiness has slipped through her fingers? All she wants is to find the path to joy.
When Claude, a French Sean Connery look-alike and routinologist, offers his unique advice to help get her there, she seizes the opportunity with both hands. Camille's journey is full of surprising escapades, creative capers, and deep meaning, as she sets out to transform her life and realize her dreams one step at a time...

Reviews for Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Your Second Life Begins When Realize You Only Have One is a feel-good novel that includes a lot of self-help techniques and buzz words. It was a best seller in France, and has now been translated into English. Camille is a thirty-something woman who is diagnosed with "routinitis", and her "routinologist" Claude provides advice using some self-help techniques and descriptions, none of which are covered in depth. Camille even uses Marie Kondo's techniques to tidy up her life a bit. One drawback about this novel is that it's also not very in-depth about Camille's life and her issues -- for instance she is estranged from her father, but we never really find out why, even after they reconcile towards the end of the novel .This was a nice rainy-day read, however, and may encourage some to look further into SMART goals and the like.
