Discover Where It All Began
Avive la Vie isn’t just a book
— it’s a doorway  —
Inside, you’ll discover how to release the anxiety and stress that keep you disconnected, reconnect with your inner worth, and remember that you already belong.
“I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in years. Avive la Vie weaves powerful life questions into a story so vivid I felt I knew each character personally. It’s a rare blend of pleasure and insight—a book to escape into while discovering deeper truths about love and acceptance. Five stars.”
— Jillian Foster, LCSW, LCAS —
As a therapist, I loved how simply and engagingly this book talks about the false stories we tell ourselves about the things we need to do to earn love and belonging. The stories are so relatable, and the integration of both resonating examples and what you can actually do about it are very helpful!
— Tyana Tavakol, Therapist —

JF Benoist
JF Benoist is the author of Addicted to the Monkey Mind and Avive la Vie: An Adventure in Belonging. For more than two decades, he has helped people uncover something far more powerful than self-improvement: the quiet confidence that emerges when we stop proving our worth and start feeling it.
In his work with both therapists, coaches, and individuals, JF has watched reactive patterns dissolve into choice, anxiety give way to courage, and relationships deepen through genuine emotional connection. His guidance is rooted in lived experience—seeing people remember who they are, trust themselves again, and build lives anchored in belonging.
“Belonging isn’t something we earn — it’s something we remember.”
