Vivre sans pourquoi
itinéraire spirituel d'un philosophe en Corée
By Alexandre Jollien
In this deeply personal spiritual memoir, philosopher Alexandre Jollien chronicles his transformative journey toward living without the constant need for justification or external validation. When he makes the radical decision to uproot his family and relocate to South Korea, Jollien embarks on an inner pilgrimage that challenges everything he thought he knew about authentic existence.
Drawing wisdom from both Christian and Buddhist traditions, Jollien candidly shares his struggles with doubt, disillusionment, and the weight of social expectations. His honest reflections reveal how he gradually learned to release himself from the tyranny of "what comes next" and the burden of others' opinions. Through moments of both profound insight and everyday challenges, he discovers what it means to love more genuinely and live more freely.
This spiritual journal offers readers practical guidance for cultivating inner peace and joy while developing deeper compassion for others. Jollien's approach is refreshingly concrete, emphasizing the importance of caring for body, soul, and neighbor as interconnected aspects of spiritual growth. His humor and vulnerability make complex philosophical concepts accessible, while his willingness to share both victories and setbacks creates an authentic roadmap for anyone seeking to descend into their deepest self to find lasting peace.
The result is an invitation to embrace a more intentional way of being, one that prioritizes inner truth over external pressures.
