For this new episode of Dialogues, I'm joined by philosopher Charles Pépin. We discuss his "trilogy," which, as he says, "strikes a balance between conceptual philosophy and existential consequences."

The three books we discuss:

The Virtues of Failure
https://www.lisez.com/livre-de-poche/...
A short treatise on wisdom that sets us on the path to genuine success.

What if we changed our perspective on failure?

In France, failure is frowned upon. We see it as a weakness, a fault, not as a sign of audacity and experience.

Yet, success rarely comes without setbacks. Charles de Gaulle, Rafael Nadal, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, J.K. Rowling, and Barbara all suffered crushing defeats before achieving their goals. Re-examining their journeys and those of many others in light of Marcus Aurelius, Saint Paul, Nietzsche, Freud, Bachelard, and Sartre, this essay teaches us how to make the most of our failures. It shows us how each trial, because it confronts us with reality or our deepest desires, can make us more insightful, more resilient, more alive.

A short treatise on wisdom that sets us on the path to genuine success.

Self-Confidence: A Philosophy
https://www.lisez.com/livre-de-poche/...
Cultivate positive relationships
Practice yourself
Listen to yourself
Be amazed
Decide
Get involved
Take action
Admire
Stay true to your desires
Trust in the mystery
Drawing on the texts of philosophers and sages, the work of psychoanalysts and psychologists, as well as the experiences of great athletes, artists, and ordinary people, this book sheds light on the mystery of self-confidence. And shows us the path to greater self-confidence.

The Encounter: A Philosophy

Following in the footsteps of The Virtues of Failure and *Self-Confidence*, this new essay in practical philosophy by Charles Pépin demonstrates that every true encounter is simultaneously a discovery of oneself and a rediscovery of the world.

A welcome philosophy in these times of isolationism.
