Where to Find Strength? And Other Existential Questions

Original title: Où trouver la force ? Et autres questions existentielles

Author: Pépin, Charles

Synopsis

A philosophy of everyday life that invites us to reconcile our living and our thinking, with tenderness and humility. –Philosophie Magazine

The strength to face life’s great questions lies within the questions themselves. —RFI, Autour de la question

In his latest work, Charles Pépin offers a living, accessible philosophy — one that sees questioning not as a weakness, but as a source of strength. —L’Echo Belgique

Where can we find the strength to ask for help, as well as to offer it? —Madame Figaro

When are we truly free? Is independence really possible? Do we need to forget in order to be happy? Should we be scared of routine? Why are we happier on a bike? Do we need to be ruthless to succeed? Can people truly change? Can we be happy in an unfair world? Why do we love dancing so much?

Philosophy is often said to be the art of asking questions, and rightly so. To philosophize is to shed light on our issues, to organize them so that we can see more clearly, thereby enhancing our power of understanding and, consequently, our power over ourselves and our lives. But questions call for answers.

By making them accessible to everyone in a concise format, Charles Pépin helps enlighten the everyday and existential questions we all face, guiding us towards a better life.
