Thanks, that's doubly helpful ; I was thinking of gifting the French version and was also concerned the translation might be subpar.

No it's ok, it reads like every american self-help book translated in french. The writing style is pretty bland but it's easy to read and the only difference with most of self help books nowadays is that the advices are actually good.

The good thing about the absence of style is that the book doesn't feel dated and could have been wrote yesterday.
