Book Review: Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook by Suzanne Saxe-Roux and Jean P. Roux

Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook set in San Francisco and the south of France, is a story and life guidebook featuring a dual-career professional couple with a young daughter who took the risk to go in search of what was truly important to them. At its heart is a love of family and the desire for quality of life. This book will inspire you to manifest your dreams and provide immediate actions you can take to create a life of good health, balance and joy.

Candid and inspiring, Suzanne and Jean- Pierre willingly acknowledge that the American Dream, as they were brought up to believe, has changed and the cost to one’s family, one’s health, and one’s own well-being can only be sustained for a period of time, not for 40 years or more. Along with millions of stressed out, busy professionals, Suzanne and Jean tell a great story and provide a life guidebook that is full of courageous and simple changes that can help us all create the lifestyles we want to live wherever we are.

Suzanne and Jean are late baby boomers, highly educated professionals who had a daughter late in life after 17 years of marriage. They have a life many would envy, but it hasn’t helped them live the life they so desire – a perfectly balanced life. What they have learned by living in a small village in the south of France is that there are many simple ways to bring joie de vivre into your daily family life and at the same time some changes require a great deal of courage and patience, but all are possible.
