…You Realize You Only Have One. Translated from the french, Your Second Life is a best-seller in France. Camille is in her late 30’s living in Paris with her husband and son. She has it all, but she isn’t really happy or feeling like she is living life to the fullest. A minor car accident introduces Camille to a man who claims to be a ‘routine-ologist.’ He helps people break out of their routines to achieve their goals and stop “just getting by.” Camille is skeptical, but decides to take him up on the therapy. And so begins her journey into changing her dull routines and patterns that aren’t working. Although somewhat predictable, the message rings clear that we all should stop treating life as just a dress rehearsal.
