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 practitionersPlaisirs partagés

La 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 couvCet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qui ne se contentent plus du statu quo et veulent passer à autre chose.…

Pourquoi la vie passe plus vite à mesure qu'on vieillit
Par Douwe Draaisma. 2008
Le souvenir est comme un chien qui se couche où il lui plaît. Car notre mémoire a sa volonté propre.…
Elle égare ce que nous voudrions retenir et nous rapporte ce que nous voudrions oublier. En fait, la mémoire se fiche des ordres que nous lui donnons. Pourquoi avons-nous si peu de souvenirs de notre petite enfance ? Pourquoi les souvenirs de jeunesse défilent-ils devant nos yeux avec plus de netteté à soixante-dix ans qu'à quarante ? Pourquoi les offenses et les humiliations sont-elles toujours inscrites à l'encre indélébile ? Pourquoi, dans les moments difficiles, la mémoire s'ouvre-t-elle précisément sur les pages les plus sombres de notre existence ? D'où vient ce sentiment de familiarité soudain, cette sensation de déjà-vu ? ce souvenir flash ? Et ce parfum qui nous rappelle tout à coup ce à quoi nous n'avions plus songé depuis vingt ans... Enfin, pourquoi la vie passe-t-elle plus vite à mesure qu'on vieillit ? Notre mémoire est notre plus intime compagne, à la fois carnet de bord et carnet d'oubli. Un rapporteur indiscipliné, chargé de consigner notre vie, mais qui n'en fait qu'à sa tête... À toutes ces questions, et à bien d'autres, l'auteur répond et nous éclaire avec sensibilité, humour et érudition. Et il lui arrive de nous emmener par-delà les frontières de la science expérimentale, du côté des historiens et des philosophes, des poètes et des écrivains. -- 4e de couvNothing Could Stop Her: The Courageous Life of Ruth Gruber
Par Rona Arato, Isabel Muñoz. 2023
Ruth Gruber didn't want to live an ordinary life, and she wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Born to a…
Jewish American family in 1911, she grew up to become a renowned journalist and activist. Her career spanned seven decades and led her to places that other reporters wouldn't or couldn't go, from Nazi Germany to the remote Arctic regions of the Soviet Union. At a time when women were expected to stay at home and raise families, Ruth told the stories of people in need and fought for their rights to live in safety and freedom.Class: A memoir
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

and healing by learning to reconnect with your story—and ultimately the universe. Dr. Paul Callaghan belongs to the land of the Worimi people who live north of Sydney along the east coast of Australia. Raised to live the western way, Paul found himself mired in deep depression—struggling to find meaning while raising a family and working as a senior education executive. Desperate to break free of his restlessness, he made a drastic change: He "went bush" and connected with his elders to "walk Country" and learn Aboriginal traditions. Twenty years later, Paul is an expert healer and spiritual guide eager to share the wisdom of his ancestors and the insights he discovered on his life journey. In this affirming, empowering, and transformative book, he teaches you about the Dreaming Path—a connection to the earth and the universe, past, present, and future that has always been there, but can be difficult to find amid the chaos of the modern world. The Dreaming Path offers tips, practices, inspiration, and motivation that can enable you to achieve a profound state of mind, body, and spirit wellness, while encouraging you to think deeply about essential life topics, including: Caring for our place and the importance of story Relationships, sharing, and unity Love, gratitude, and humility Learning and living your truth Inspiration and resilience Being present and healing from the past Contentment Leading The Dreaming Path reminds us that we are our stories; by learning to recognize that we are all an indelible part of something much larger, we can begin to heal ourselves and our communitiesKaty no-pocket

Par Josée Fiset. 2022
Si faire preuve de leadership s'applique en affaires, cela se manifeste aussi au sein de la famille, dans le monde…
du sport, dans la communauté, en politique et même en milieu scolaire. Pour la cofondatrice de Première Moisson, Josée Fiset, le leadership s'exerce grâce à plusieurs forces, et l'amour et la bienveillance sont au centre de celles-ci.

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
Par Scott Shigeoka. 2023
"Most people recognize the value of curiosity, but few know how to unleash it. Seek will help you close the…

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...
