Can we learn how to be happy? Hector is a successful young
psychiatrist. He's very good at treating patients in real need of
his help. But many people he sees have no health problems: they're
just deeply dissatisfied with their lives. Hector can't do much for
them, and it's beginning to depress him. So when a patient tells
him he looks in need of a holiday, Hector decides to set off round
the world to find out what makes people everywhere happy (and sad),
and whether there is such a thing as the secret of true happiness.
The irresistible second installment in the beloved series that has
sold millions of copies worldwide.
Since his first captivating adventure in "Hector and the Search
for Happiness," Hector the young French psychiatrist has continued
to explore the mysteries of the human soul. Having found that love
seems virtually inseparable from happiness, he begins taking notes
on this powerful emotion. But unbeknownst to him, Clara, the
doctor's beloved, is making her own investigations into love.
As much a love story as a novel about love, "Hector and the
Secrets of Love" is a feel-good life manual wrapped in a
globetrotting adventure, told with the blend of a fairy tale's
naive wisdom and a satirist's dry wit that has won Hector fans
around the world.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Simon Pegg, Toni
Collette, and Christopher Plummer
The international bestseller with more than two million copies sold
"Once upon a time there was a young psychiatrist called Hector who
was not very satisfied with himself. . . . And so he decided to
take a trip around the world, and everywhere he went he would try
to understand what made people happy or unhappy."
Hector travels from Paris to China to Africa to the United States,
and along the way he keeps a list of observations about the people
he meets. Combining the winsome appeal of "The Little Prince" with
the inspiring philosophy of "The Alchemist," Hector's journey
around the world and into the human soul is entertaining,
empowering, and smile-inducing--as winning in its optimism as it is
wise in its simplicity.

Poor Hector. Tempus fugit, and our intrepid psychiatrist is not
feeling quite as young as he used to. His current patients are
concerned with time too. One feels she's always in a hurry, as if
there's a clock ticking in her tummy - she would like time to slow
down. But there's also a boy who wishes time would hurry along and
turn him into an adult. And a third patient counts his remaining
years of life in terms of how many dogs he'll have time to own.
Hector feels he must get to the bottom of this time business and to
do so, of course, a round-the-world adventure is required. Follow
Hector as he sets off to uncover nuggets of universal wisdom on
time. Who better to find out about the past, the future and how
best to enjoy the present than the hero of Hector and the Search
for Happiness and Hector and the Secrets of Love?
