The Man Who Wanted to Be Happy

Every person dreams of finding happiness. But sometimes this dream never comes true. External circumstances, seemingly insurmountable, constantly interfere with us. Julian, the hero of Gounell's novel, is young, healthy, good-looking, and… desperately dissatisfied with his life, even though objectively... nothing prevents him from being happy. Finding himself in Bali, he arrives at a secluded village hidden among the tropical forests, where he meets an old healer named Santiang. Legends about him circulate on the island. The wise old man heals not the body but the soul of a person. And he knows the truth capable of changing the whole world around us: what we believe in becomes our reality and defines our life.
The book by Laurent Gounelle, one of the five most popular fiction writers in France, became an international bestseller, topping sales charts in France for several years and has been translated into twenty-five languages.
