We encounter these lions every day: the raging motorist, the gently denigrating spouse, the power-ridden boss, the uncompromising mother who knows better than we do what's good for us... This is what Romane calls: the "burnerie". Romane, a passionate and committed thirty-something, helps these foul-mouthed felines become more humane. She founded a company that offers them a unique program, a complete makeover of their posture and mentality. Among its new participants are some fine specimens. One in particular: Maximilien Vogue, a famous businessman and CEO of a major cosmetics group, devilishly charismatic, but a horrifying archetype of burnout! Will she be able to make him evolve so that he expresses his inner power differently, with more accuracy and respect for others? It's clear: she's going to have a hard time. Raphaëlle Giordano is a writer and expert in creativity and personal development. This is her second novel, following the bestseller international Your second life begins when you realize you only have one.
