How to walk (Mindfulness Essentials)
Par Thich Hanh. 2023
An introduction to mindful walking, which can be done anywhere, at any time—even on a commute to work or school…
The fourth book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice. Slow, concentrated walking while focusing on in- and out-breaths allows for a unique opportunity to be in the present. There is no need to arrive somewhere—each step is the arrival to concentration, joy, insight, and the momentary enlightenment of aliveness. When your foot touches the Earth with awareness, you make yourself alive and the Earth real, and you forget for one minute the searching, rushing, and longing that rob our daily lives of awareness and cause us to "sleepwalk" through life. Thich Nhat Hanh shares amusing stories of the impact mindful walking has on both the walker and those who notice him, and shows how mindful walking can be a technique for diminishing depression, recapturing wonder, and expressing gratitude. How to Walk is a unique gift for all ages, sharing a simple practice that can have a profound effect on practitionersLe pèlerin de Compostelle

Par Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. 2005
Dans Vivre, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi apportait une réponse scientifique, factuelle, empirique à la question du bonheur et révolutionnait la psychologie. Dans…
ce nouvel ouvrage, il donne les clefs de l'application de sa théorie. Nous avons tendance à vivre à côté de notre vie, peu conscients des bonheurs qui la traversent et déconnectés de nos émotions. À cause d'une forme récurrente d'inattention, nous subissons d'un côté les stress ou les soucis générés par le travail et nos différentes obligations, et de l'autre nous passons nos moments de détente dans une sorte d'état second... C'est en nous réinvestissant pleinement dans chaque moment, nous explique Csikszentmihalyi, que nous pouvons mieux vivre, c'est en nous lançant quotidiennement des défis, en refusant la facilité et en transformant la routine en plaisir, que nous pouvons nous forger une existence heureuse. -- 4e de couvLa pulsion: c'est plus fort que moi-- (Les mots de la psychanalyse)
Par Jean-Charles Bouchoux. 2009
C'est plus fort que moi, je n'ai pas pu me retenir... Qu'il s'agisse d'un fou rire ou d'une crise de…
colère, nous avons tous fait l'expérience de ces débordements irrépressibles d'énergie. La psychanalyse parle de pulsions. Si un simple fou rire ne prête pas à conséquences, l'évacuation de nos pulsions peut prendre des chemins plus pernicieux : actes manqués, somatisation, transposition d'un sentiment d'amour en haine, etc. Qu'est-ce qu'une pulsion ? Quels sont ses mécanismes d'expression ? Sommes-nous tous égaux face à nos pulsions ? Ce petit guide fait le point sur la notion de pulsion en psychanalyse, en s'appuyant notamment sur les outils que Freud et ses successeurs nous ont légués. En prime, il nous invite à reconnaître et canaliser nos propres pulsions, pour les mettre au service de nos projets et de nos ambitions. -- 4e de couvLes putains du diable: le procès en sorcellerie des femmes

alimentent la démonologie : c'est par l'accouplement avec Satan que les sorcières obtiendraient leurs pouvoirs maléfiques. La sorcellerie : un "crime" de femmes? Elles ont fourni 80% des condamnés au bûcher. Pour Armelle Le Bras-Chopard, loin d'être secondaires, la féminité et le fantasme de sa dangerosité seraient le mobile même de cette persécution. Un phénomène plus politique que religieux, aboutissant à la construction au masculin de l'Etat moderne, et qui disparaîtra une fois les femmes assujetties sous la Loi. Aujourd'hui, avec la place grandissante des femmes dans l'espace public, les sorcières seraient-elles de retour? Pourquoi avoir peur de la mixité des sexes? Il ne s'agit pas de "partager le gâteau", simplement d'en modifier la recette, sans craindre qu'une sorcière y introduise quelque poison diabolique!" -- 4e de couvNostradamus, le mythe et la réalité: un historien au temps des astrologues (Spécial suspense)

Il nous implore de constater que cet état, fondé sur une identification erronée à l'ego et au mental, frôle la folie dangereuse.

Aujourd'hui, plus qu'à tout autre moment de l'histoire, l'humanité doit saisir l'occasion qui lui est offerte de créer un monde plus sain et plus aimant. Cela nécessitera la transformation intérieure radicale d'une conscience propre à l'ego vers une conscience totalement nouvelle.

Par Stephanie Land. 2023
A Good Morning America Book Club Pick "Raw and inspiring." — People "Land is not just exploring her own story,…
but also the larger implications of what it means to fall between the cracks of American capitalism." — The New York Times From the New York Times bestselling author who inspired the hit Netflix series about a struggling mother barely making ends meet as a housecleaner—a gripping memoir about college, motherhood, poverty, and life after Maid . When Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir Maid , she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019, it was called "an eye-opening journey into the lives of the working poor" ( People ). Later it was adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid , which was viewed by 67 million households and was Netflix's fourth most-watched show in 2021, garnering three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Stephanie's escape out of poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. Maid was a story about a housecleaner, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In Class , Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system, not having enough money for food, navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn't understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties. Class paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college? And what kind of work is valued in our culture? In clear, candid, and moving prose, Class grapples with these questions, offering a searing indictment of America's educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother's triumph against all oddsThe dreaming path: Indigenous ideas to help us change the world

Par Megan Madison. 2023
An audiobook edition of the board book about grief, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children…
in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of grief. This book aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. It centers around several questions that arise about grief and honest, simple ways to answer them. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. There is simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussionSeek: How curiosity can transform your life and change the world

Did you know that curiosity is your superpower? It's no secret that division, loneliness, and polarization are on the rise—to catastrophic impact on our personal lives. While we often think of curiosity as a personality trait, internationally-recognized curiosity expert Scott Shigeoka knows that it's actually the most potent tool we have to bridge our differences and heal relationships: From political blow-ups to age divides at work; religious differences to languishing friendships; gun rights to gender rights. In Seek , Shigeoka blends cutting edge research on curiosity with wisdom from years of grassroots community work and the stories of people living at the threshold of deep curiosity—ancient wayfinders in the Pacific Ocean, Catholic nuns and Millennial seekers sharing a convent, a wildland firefighter in Montana, and more—as he takes readers on a journey to understand the power of deep curiosity. With the support of Shigoeka's four-phase DIVE model, readers will learn to...

the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio , and Stacey Colino, an award-winning science writer. Dogs have been considered people's best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today. With all of the seismic shifts in today's world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives. Now, The Purest Bond explores the benefits our dogs can have on our physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being, often without our realizing it. Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, The Purest Bond explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what's right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong
