O escritor Marcel Proust (1871-1922), autor do monumental Em busca do tempo perdido, não parece o melhor conselheiro sobre a arte do bem viver.

Embora, em um primeiro momento, a discussão a respeito da existência ou não de Deus possa ser considerada como um divertido exercício, ao observar os ritos e conceitos morais que regem as religiões, o autor propõe um passo adiante. Dissecadas, crenças, como cristianismo, judaísmo e budismo, podem ser compreendidas como arcabouços éticos estruturados por nós para atender à demanda humana de viver em comunidade, controlando sua tendência à violência, estimulando hábitos essenciais, como a compaixão e o perdão, e reconfortando mente e corpo diante do sofrimento.

We spend vast amounts of time acquiring confidence in narrow technical fields: quadratic equations or bioengineering; economics or pole vaulting. But we overlook the primordial need to acquire a more free-ranging variety of confidence - one that can serve us across a range of tasks: speaking to strangers at parties, asking someone to marry us, suggesting a fellow passenger turn down their music, changing the world. This is a guidebook to confidence, why we lack it and how we can acquire more of it in our lives.
