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 practitionersSwept Away: Ruth Mornay and the Unwanted Clues

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 couvSun & Spoon

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 discussionThe highly sensitive child: Helping our children thrive when the world overwhelms them
Par Elaine Aron. 2023
A groundbreaking parenting guidebook addressing the trait of "high sensitivity" in children, from the psychologist and bestselling author of The…
Highly Sensitive Person whose books have sold more than 1 million copies With the publication of The Highly Sensitive Person , pioneering psychotherapist Dr. Elaine Aron became the first person to identify the inborn trait of "high sensitivity" and to show how it affects the lives of those who possess it. In The Highly Sensitive Child, Dr. Aron shifts her focus to the 15 to 20 percent of children who are born highly sensitive—deeply reflective, sensitive to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative children, but also may result in shyness, fussiness, or acting out. As Dr. Aron shows in The Highly Sensitive Child , if your child seems overly inhibited, particular, or you worry that they may have a neurodevelopmental disorder, such as ADHD or autism, they may simply be highly sensitive. And raised with proper understanding and care, highly sensitive children can grow up to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults. Rooted in Dr. Aron’s years of experience working with highly sensitive children and their families, as well as in her original research on child temperament, The Highly Sensitive Child explores the challenges of raising an HSC; the four keys to successfully parenting an HSC; how to help HSCs thrive in a not-so-sensitive world; and how to make school and friendships enjoyable. With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns to teens, The Highly Sensitive Child is the ultimate resource for parents, teachers, and the sensitive children in their lives. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of questionnaires from the bookSeek: How curiosity can transform your life and change the world
