內容簡介 「本書的主題─放過你自己吧，也許可說是今年最基本的目標了」─ELLE雜誌法國人的優雅從容總是令人稱羨，在這本書中，作者就要告訴你如何辦到！停止給自己壓力、擁抱宇宙的力量，要不做點瑜珈？每天應該要知足感恩……市面上有各式各樣的理論讓許多人不堪負荷，我們總是告訴自己要更努力，督促自己去做「應該」做的事，但現在是時候放過自己，就讓自己順其自然過生活，在一片心靈勵志的書海中，這本書說不定就是一個浮標，指引你通往更舒服優雅的生活。作者法布里思‧米德是法國知名哲學家，提倡冥想，米德說明真正的正念活動就是要從社交以及自給的壓力中釋放自己，順應自然，不需要服從別人，因為你有自己的理解力，不需要努力變得完美，就接受人生的風暴吧！不需要跟別人做比較，你就是你，不需要自己想著要去愛，只要保持一顆仁慈的心就夠了。THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERBe calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... We're overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to "try harder," yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think we're supposed to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to give yourself a break, and just be.Fabrice Midal, one of the world's leading teachers of meditation explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses - and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break. He gives readers permission to:Stop obeying -- you are intelligentStop being calm -- be at peaceStop wanting to be perfect -- accept life's stormsStop rationalizing -- let things beStop comparing -- be youStop being ashamed -- be vulnerableStop tormenting yourself -- become your own best friendStop wanting to love -- be benevolentIn C'est La Vie, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too much, too fast modern life. It's OK, he urges us, to say no. It's fine to quit the things that don't make you happy. It's necessary, in fact, to give yourself a break if things don't go your way and say, simply, C'est la vie. Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that don't make us happy...so we have room in our lives for the things that do.
