Florence Lautrédou is a psychoanalyst, life coach and the creator of a programme called the Eye Opening Project which aims to encourage business managers to accept intuitive resources. A graduate of the Ecole Normale, she has an agrégation in literature. She is the author of fiction (Cap Horn Elle) and nonfiction (En quête des libérateurs d’énergie, Vuibert, 2007).
How and why do some people, who feel listless, bored, burdened by daily tasks and routines, suddenly ‘wake up’ with the feeling that life is full of promise?
The reason for this reawakening, or rebirth, is inspiration, argues Florence Lautrédou. Through her work with people who wish to change their lives, she has become familiar with the conditions that favour internal shifts: an unexpected, positive encounter, the remembrance of a childhood desire, a song overheard on the radio that acquires a fresh meaning — and suddenly a new path seems to open up.
Eight cases, recounted as engrossing stories, help us understand the forms that inspiration can take to make us take charge of our lives.
