◆Not Everyone Lives the Same Life= Paul Hansen, who immigrated from France to Canada and works as an apartment manager. He is diligent and sincere in everything, but his hatred toward the tenant representative leads him to become a criminal. The author narrates a story that could be heavy in a consistently calm manner. Capturing moments of humor amid failure, conflict, and loss, it soothes wounded lives. It is a hopeful interpretation that joy and sorrow coexist even in an extraordinary life. (Written by Jean-Paul Dubois / Translated by Lee Se-jin / Changbi)

◆When the Mind Becomes Ill= Interviews with eighty Americans suffering from mental pain, diagnosing mental health issues and drug dependency phenomena. The author expresses concern over the rapid increase in people receiving psychiatric diagnoses and medication prescriptions. He points out the growing tendency to view suffering solely as a brain problem and to try to heal it with drugs. He emphasizes not to neglect interpretative and meaningful thoughts about the self.
