It’s not just fun and enlightening to answer the questions in According to Proust; doing this together with your loved ones is at least as entertaining and informative. —Algemeen Dagblad

It has been a phenomenon for over a hundred years: the Marcel Proust Questionnaire. Who are you? What do you want? What do you feel? Who would you like to be? You’ll have the answer to those questions, and many more, after filling in this book. Many famous people have revealed their true selves thanks to the Proust Questionnaire, including Oscar Wilde, Karl Marx, Susan Sontag, Giorgio Armani, Robert De Niro, Brigitte Bardot, and David Bowie, among others. But now it’s your turn!

For According to Proust, Henk Steenhuis and Bert Bukman completed the original Questionnaire with dozens of questions that cover every aspect of life. At first glance, the questions seem simple, but do not let that fool you: they compel you to get to the core. Answering them requires complete honesty and openness. However, as a reward, you gain insight into who you are and what you truly value in life. Of course, you can keep the book for yourself, but the original Dutch edition, published by Meulenhoff, includes removable cards with the questions printed on them, allowing you to share and exchange your findings with your friends. This will undoubtedly lead to inspiring conversations and will expose new and surprising personality traits.
