Trois amis en quête de sagesse

Three men, a monk, a philosopher and a psychiatric doctor come together to discuss life’s great questions: what are our true and most profound longings? Why do we suffer? How can we escape malaise? Can we put an end to guilt? Why do we so often experience a feeling of frustration? Why are we not really free? Is it possible to be benevolent and altruistic? How can we learn true simplicity? Each of these three men has a different path, experience and personality. Nevertheless, they are friends, one could even say brothers, as their reflections complements and enrich each other. The book’s greatest asset is its lucidity, its luminous clarity and simplicity, qualities none of which can be attained unless the words are inspired not by the intellect, but by experience that is true and nurtured, we could even say shaped, by love for life and the love of our fellow man. TABLE OF CONTENTS What are our most profound longings?
