* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *As you read this summary, you will discover how to develop the right state of mind to free yourself from the pressure, and how to move towards a real knowledge of yourself. Pressed and stressed on all sides by a society that is becoming dehumanizing, Man is finding it increasingly difficult to follow a reliable course, no longer really knows who he is and what he wants. In this permanent struggle, how can we regain our enthusiasm and our capacity to act? *You will learn in particular : that meditation is the fundamental means to achieve self-knowledge; that meditation is not what is generally believed; that is to say no to rules and obligations; to set your own pace; to love complexity; to stop comparing yourself; to accept vulnerability; in short, to use the author's words, to "leave you alone". *In a world that is moving ever faster, men act indiscriminately, frantically, tossed between cruel perfectionism and a need for constant comparison of oneself with others. They inflict torture and agitation on themselves. However, agitation is not doing. Stopping moving all the time is the only real way to act and to regain enthusiasm and the desire to go further. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

It's time to stop giving a sh*t! Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order! We're overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to "try harder," yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think we're supposed to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate--to stop giving a shit, and just be.

It's OK, he urges us, to say no. It's fine to quit the things that don't fulfill you. It's necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, c'est la vie. In The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t, Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that don't make us happy ... so we have room in our lives for the things that do.

Sick of striving? Giving up on grit? Had enough of hustle culture? Daunted by the 10,000-hour rule? Relax: As the French know, it's the best way to be better at everything. In the realm of love, what could be less seductive than someone who's trying to seduce you? Seduction is the art of succeeding without trying, and that's a lesson the French have mastered. We can see it in their laissez-faire parenting, chic style, haute cuisine, and enviable home cooking: They barely seem to be trying, yet the results are world-famous--thanks to a certain je ne sais quoi that is the key to a more creative, fulfilling, and productive life. For fans of both Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life, philosopher Ollivier Pourriol's The French Art of Not Trying Too Hard draws on the examples of such French legends as Descartes, Stendhal, Rodin, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Françoise Sagan to show how to be efficient à la française, and how to effortlessly reap the rewards.
