The French art of not trying too hard

Pourriol, Ollivier, 1971-2022
Books, Manuscripts
Whether it's the Protestant work ethic, or the capitalist need for productivity, most of us in the English-speaking world believe that in order to achieve anything worthwhile, we must first expend huge amounts of effort. In fact, just the opposite is true. In this book, Ollivier Pourriol shows how the best results in life, love, work, art and even sports come not from working harder, but from letting go.
