La France pour la vie

In the book, President Sarkozy regrets taking a holiday on Vincent Bolloré's yacht and insulting a heckler at the start of his tenure as president.^[3][5] He adds that he wants to repeal the 35-hour workweek and the solidarity tax on wealth.^[3][5] He believes that same-sex marriage should remain legal in France.^[5]

Additionally, Sarkozy writes about his relationships with U.S. President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin.^[1] He also analyzes his policies towards Libya and Georgia.^[1]

Marianne (magazine) writes a paper titled : "Sarkozy's method to transform your flaws into qualities", analyzing the book and comparing its content to a job interview.^[6]

Several errors are in the book :

• The book mentions a "campaign of a rare violence" between Bush and Obama (page 73)^[7][4] while the Obama campaign was against John McCain (2008 United States presidential election)
• "Vincent Bolloré had no contract with the (French) state" (2007)^[4]
• claims to have decided the launch of a museum in Metz (Centre Pompidou-Metz), while it was started in 2006 and decided by Jacques Chirac^[4]
• In the book, Sarkozy claims to have "never given up facing street pressure"^[8] (that is, never given facing strike action and demonstrations in the streets), forgetting the taxi reform (recommended by the Commission pour la libération de la croissance française [fr]) cancelled by taxis strikes.^[4]

The newspaper Libération has published a fact checking article regarding some others errors.^[9]
