What is inner life? Do you have one? If so, can it be cultivated? Is it not both the source of our thoughts, feelings and intuitions, and the wellspring of all creativity and spirituality?
Patrice van Eersel guides us through a fascinating investigation, unfolding through conversations with eight remarkable figures: psychiatrist Christophe André, neurologist Stanislas Dehaene, paediatrician Catherine Dolto, mathematician Cédric Villani, singer Arthur H., Sufi master Sheikh Bentounes, biblical scholar Annick de Souzenelle, and poet Christian Bobin. From the “silent inwardness” described by Christophe André to the “inner child playing hide-and-seek” whom Christian Bobin invites us to rediscover, this is an unprecedented journey into what each of us carries within: something essential and unique.
