Think the promotion and the bigger paycheck you’ve been working toward 24/7 will unlock the door to happiness and peace of mind?
Think again, say Suzanne Saxe-Roux and her husband, Jean Roux, co-authors of Courage and Croissants. A truly joyful, healthy, balanced life will come from:
- Focusing on your key passions and priorities and not worrying about the rest
- Enjoying mealtime like the French do
- Seeking meaningful endeavors and relationships
- Resetting our priorities to focus on the quality of our daily lives.
- Do something different every once in awhile
- Do at least one thing you profoundly enjoy each day
In this era of uncertainty about retirement, it’s more important than ever to choose a lifestyle that’s both fulfilling in the present and sustainable over time.
Suzanne Saxe-Roux, Ed.D. and Jean P. Roux, Ph.D., are successful business consultants and coaches. Jean is also a health psychologist and psychotherapist. In their new book, Courage and Croissants, they draw on their experience living in the south of France to explain how to reclaim the joy and happiness that has dropped out of our definitions of progress and the American dream.
