Each book I present in this episode has played a unique role in my personal and professional development. These works are not merely works of art: they are teachers, travelling companions, mirrors that reflect and illuminate the complexities of the human soul.

You will discover classics such as “La vie devant soi” (The Life Before Us) by Romain Gary, a moving story of love and resilience, or “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo, a powerful epic about justice and human misery. Each selected book offers a window onto the deepest aspects of existence: love, struggle, transformation and the quest for meaning.

For me, as a therapist, these books are not mere distractions, nor only sources of theoretical knowledge. They are the foundation on which I build my understanding of human beings, their emotions, their relationships and their behaviour. They have helped me shape a more empathetic, deeper and more nuanced approach to therapy.

I invite you to discover this selection, not only to learn which books have marked me, but also to explore how literature can enrich your own life and your professional practice. Whether you are passionate about psychology, an avid reader or simply curious to know which books have the power to transform a life, the full video — in French — is below.
