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 couvThe author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (BR 09230) offers suggestions on opening one's self to…

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 couvConnect
