New Book, Courage and Croissants, Explains How to Reinvent Yourself - Provence-Style

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever wonder how to bring the tranquility, balance and joie de vivre of a Provencal afternoon into your lifestyle?

In their new book, Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook, Suzanne Saxe-Roux and her husband, Jean Roux, tell you how.  Published today by St. Remy Press, Courage and Croissants shares the secrets the co-authors have discovered to reclaiming joy, creativity and family time while embracing a change of priorities and pace wherever you live.

Both a gripping memoir and a practical guidebook for anybody seeking a more healthful, joyous life, Courage and Croissants takes readers along for the journey as Suzanne and Jean, shaken by struggles with infertility and cancer, trade in frozen dinners on the run, a full-time nanny and the frenzy of business ownership for a simple village house amid Provence's lavender fields.  It follows their myriad touching yet humorous adventures as they uproot from the San Francisco Bay area and become acclimated to life in a quaint French village where friends take the time to kiss each other on each cheek and everyone enjoys a two-hour lunch.

Courage and Croissants' inspiring story is complete with actionable advice from the co-authors, who are Ph.D. professional life and executive coaches as well as parents. Through a series of fifteen specific tips, the Life Guidebook section maps out strategies for considering the importance of time versus money, resetting your priorities to focus on quality living, surrendering your fears, leaving your comfort zone, enjoying the simple things in life and leaning into your dreams. It's all about moving forward on the big dreams and living the small ones daily.
