Франсуа Лелор — о писателе

практику, которую закрыл в 1996 году в связи с работой консультантом по стрессу для нескольких компаний. С 2004 года работает психиатром в Ханои и Ho Chi Minh City.

Написал несколько монографий по психологии в соавторстве с Кристофом Андре.

His first novel, Le voyage d'Hector ou la recherche du bonheur ("Hector's Voyage or the Search for Happiness"), was very successful in France as well as other countries such as Germany. It is a book on psychology written for ordinary readers; it tells the story of Hector, a psychiatrist, who travels around the world in search of what it is that makes people happy. The book is written in a simple, humorous style, and gives psychological advice and thought-provoking impulses without even touching dry theory.

Lelord continues to publish novels dealing with similar topics which are written in a similar manner.

Following its European success, Penguin Group (USA) acquired the rights to publish Lelord's debut novel in the United States of America. "Hector and the Search for Happiness" is scheduled for release on August 31, 2010.
