A few years ago, I typed a simple question into Google: How to be a great husband. What I discovered through that one Google search was more than I expected. It launched a journey. I connected with leading thinkers, therapists, financial planners, and relationship experts. They didn’t just give me answers. They gave me frameworks, language, and permission to grow into a better version of myself—not just for my wife, but for our family.
Cash & Love is the result of the personal story of Lady Grâce and her husband Valestin Pitou. After their marriage, the couple encountered numerous financial challenges, sources of frustration and incomprehension.
Concerned that these difficulties were marring the harmony of their relationship, Lady Grâce and Valestin took matters into their own hands. They realized that the key was financial education, and very soon they were able to build up a solid nest egg on a single income and, in the process, set up their first company: Ophel Business.
It’s hard to talk about intelligence without talking about the collective. And with good reason, for Professor Émile Servan-Schreiber, the two are linked: ‘Today there is no intelligence that is not organised on the basis of a collective,’ says the expert. Whether it’s your brain, which is a collective of 80 billion neurons working together to produce something intelligent, or GPT chat, which brings together all the knowledge produced by individuals so that it can be used by and for everyone. For all that, and because the nature of the collective is to lapse fairly quickly into conformism, mainly for the sake of acceptance by peers, it is necessary for the collective to be as diverse as possible. In terms of age, professions… and of course gender. But what are the benefits of collective intelligence coupled with gender diversity?
When we talk about breaking barriers in male-dominated industries, the narrative often centers on women’s grit, resilience, and defiance. But there’s another layer to this story—one that’s quieter, subtler, and surprisingly transformative. It’s about the men who, intentionally or not, become unexpected allies in spaces where women are still unicorns. These allies don’t always wear capes or make grand gestures. Instead, they champion women’s success through curiosity, humility, and small, intentional acts of solidarity
In a world that is increasingly connected, but paradoxically more distant, relational intelligence is presented as a key tool to strengthen our relationships and meet the challenges of engagement. This capacity not only improves personal dynamics, but also enriches our professional and community life, generating deeper and more meaningful connections.
We all aspire to live a full, successful and balanced life. However, on many occasions we feel disoriented and confused about what decision to make in an increasingly uncertain and complex environment, we do not know what attitude to take or the certainties we had are blurred. Three books approach this subject from complementary perspectives, connected by a clear common thread: the aspiration to integrate life in all its dimensions. Each work offers a unique vision, forming an itinerary of reflection and practice that guides the reader in his or her search for a successful and fulfilled life.
