Par Olivier Ameisen. 2008
"Olivier Ameisen avait tout pour être heureux : rejeton surdoué d'une talentueuse famille, bachelier à seize ans, pianiste exceptionnel, brillant…
cardiologue, il s'installe à New York au début des années 80, et sa carrière médicale et universitaire prend aussitôt son envol. Mais derrière ce personnage charismatique se cache un grand anxieux. Depuis l'enfance, Ameisen est tenaillé par de profonds sentiments d'insécurité et d'inadéquation. À New York, cette anxiété explose et devient ingérable ; et la seule chose qui lui permet de la soulager, c'est l'alcool. La suite, on connaît : Ameisen sombre dans la boisson. À la fin des années 90, il rentre en France. Le cardiologue d'exception, le pianiste brillant n'est plus que l'ombre de lui-même, titubant d'une cuite à l'autre, alternant cures de désintoxication et réunions chez les Alcooliques Anonymes. Pourtant, contre toute attente, cet homme est guéri depuis près de cinq ans, libéré de l'envie même de boire. Parce qu'il a pris son destin en main alors que tout semblait perdu, parce qu'il n'a jamais douté qu'on trouverait un traitement efficace, il a fini par faire lui-même une découverte révolutionnaire : le médicament qui lui a sauvé la vie et bouleverse déjà le traitement de l'alcoolisme et de l'addiction en général". -- 4e de couvCover letters that knock 'em dead

Juste impossible: petite conférence sur le juste et l'injuste (Les petites conférences)
Par Jean-Luc Nancy. 2007
"C'est pas juste !" : combien de fois un enfant ne prononce-t-il pas - tout haut ou en silence -…
cette exclamation indignée ? Combien de fois n'a-t-il pas le sentiment de ne pas avoir la place qui lui revient ? Mais un adulte aussi trouve injuste, selon les cas, une contravention, un licenciement, une guerre, la réussite du voisin. Ce qui est juste, pensons-nous, doit l'être pour tous. Or nous pensons aussi qu'il doit y avoir ce qui est juste pour chacun, comme un vêtement bien ajusté, ou comme le droit de faire "juste ce que je veux". Y a-t-il donc deux justices ? L'une égale pour tous, l'autre différente pour chacun ? Mais chacune ne risque-t-elle pas d'être injuste à sa manière, en s'opposant à l'autre ? Qu'est-ce donc qui est juste ? Et de qui peut-on dire que "c'est un juste" ? -- 4e de couvBut what if I don't want to go to college: a guide to success through alternative education

Par Harry Haroutunian. 2023
**As Featured on The Dr. Oz Show in Special Addiction Episode with Steven Tyler** The disease of addiction affects 1…
out of 10 people in the United States, and is a devastating—often, fatal—illness. Now, from the physician director of the renowned Betty Ford Center, comes a step-by-step plan with a realistic "one-day-at-a-time" approach to a disease that so often seems insurmountable. With a focus on reclaiming the power that comes from a life free of dependency, Being Sober walks readers through the many phases of addiction and recovery without judgment or the overly "cultish" language of traditional 12-step plans. It also addresses the latest face of this disease: the "highly functioning" addict, or someone who is still able to achieve personal and professional success even as they battle a drug or alcohol problem. Dr. Haroutunian tackles this provocative issue head-on, offering new insight into why you don't have to "bottom out" to get help. Dr. Haroutunian is himself a recovering alcoholic and knows firsthand the challenges of sobriety. His background and expertise in the field of alcohol and drug treatment give him a powerful edge and perspective that is unparalleled in his field. Using clear, straightforward language, Being Sober offers a proven path toward an emotional sobriety and a rewarding new life based on gratitude, dignity, and self-respect. Including a Foreword written by Steven Tyler
