 Are all rich men in the world happy ? Can money be the tool to distinguish happiness from misery ? If you have some ultimate question about the relationship between money and happiness , the French novel The List of My Desires ( La Liste de Mes Envies ) , may have the answer . 
 This novel focuses on one couple ’ s life . They win ? 18 , 000 , 000 ( about 22 , 000 , 000 , 000 won ) from the lottery and become rich over night . Jo and Jocelyne are a married couple living in Arras , a small town in the north of France , and have shared their fates for 21 years . The husband Jo has worked at Haagen Dazs since 1990 , and his wife Jocelyne manages her small handicraft store . Although they have some trouble communicating with their offspring and their income is not very much , their marriage is generally harmonious . However , after Jocelyne buys a lottery ticket at the recommendation of twin sisters who run a beauty salon in town , and wins a huge sum of money because of it , their relationship falls apart . Jocelyne doesn ’ t tell him about the money , but Jo finds out and runs away with all of her money . 
 The lives of Jo and Jocelyne have friction because their values are different . Jocelyne thinks it ’ s much more important to have an ordinary , happy life with her husband , but Jo thinks about the huge amount of money , which he can only earn if he works 600 years at Haagen Dazs . It ’ s very ironic that Jocelyne accepts her bad situation and makes some plans for a new life , but Jo can ’ t enjoy spending the money and eventually becomes mentally exhausted . Jo later regrets his betrayal and wants to apologize to his wife , but it ’ s too late . He can ’ t solve the problem no matter how much money he has . Readers can think about happiness that is based on only money and where they put their values . What things in our lives are more important than luxury watches , sport cars and tailored suits ? 
 The author said he wanted to talk about the dangerous aspect of “ achieving one ’ s dream ” and warns readers through an interview . You can find solutions for serious questions about money and happiness through author Gregoire Delacourt ’ s short and simple style of writing . In the book , almost every sentence is no longer than one line . Characters also don ’ t speak long utterances . Because of these things , it is an easy book to read . 
 This book is in the process of being made into a film , so we can experience it at a theater soon . How about taking the opportunity to make your own list of desires that can only be achieved with your effort and passion ?
