Comment faire face et aller mieux quand tout va mal
Par Virginie Giorgis. 2009
Quand une épreuve aussi douloureuse qu'une rupture, un deuil, une maladie... vous tombe dessus, vous commencez par penser que vous…
ne vous en relèverez jamais. Mais ces épreuves de la vie ne sont pas insurmontables et vous pouvez vous y préparer avant même qu'elles ne surviennent, en développant vos forces et en goûtant aux petites choses du quotidien. Et s'il arrive que le drame vous prenne de plein fouet, des solutions existent pour faire face, à chaque étape. Car ces étapes sont bien identifiées aujourd'hui : le choc d'abord, l'impression de déconnexion, la peur, la colère. Oui, vous pouvez tout surmonter. Avec intelligence et sensibilité, ce livre ouvre des portes, dévoile des coins de ciel bleu, montre la voie du mieux-être, quelles que soient les circonstances. Résolument positif et convaincant, il fait mieux que de rendre l'espoir : il croit en vous ! -- 4e de couvThe black joy project

love letter to a force that fuels Black life all around the globe, The Black Joy Project is Humans of New York meets The Black Book "A patchwork quilt of ... moments of triumph, antidotes to trauma narratives and rich, ebullient emotional and verbal spice for the soul." – Michael W. Twitty, culinary and cultural historian, and author of The Cooking Gene and Koshersoul "In literature, there are some books that transcend mere pages and ink, becoming essential pieces of cultural expression. One such book poised to make its mark is The Black Joy Project.... This ambitious work breaks new ground." – Essence Black Joy is everywhere. From the bustling streets of Lagos to hip-hop blasting through apartment windows in the Bronx. From the wide-open coastal desert of Namibia to the lush slopes of Jamaica's Blue Mountains. From the thriving tradition of Candomblé in Bahia to the innovative and trendsetting styles of Soweto, and beyond, Black Joy is present in every place that Black people exist. Now—at last—is a one-of-a-kind celebration of this truth and a life-giving testament to one of the most essential forces that fuels Black life: The Black Joy Project. International in the scale, fist-raising in the prose, and chockfull of gorgeous works by dozens of acclaimed artists, The Black Joy Project does what no other book has ever done. It puts joy on the same track as protest and resistance ... because that is how life is actually lived. Uprisings in the street, with music as accompaniment. Heartbreaking funerals followed by second line parades. Microaggressions in the office, then coming home to a warm hug and a garden of lilacs. The list goes on. Black Joy is always held in tension with broader systemic wounds. It is a powerful, historically important salve that allows us to keep going and reimagine new ways of being. The Black Joy Project captures these dual realities to incredible, unforgettable effect. The brainchild of educator and activist Kleaver Cruz, The Black Joy Project is an extension of a real-world initiative of the same name. It has become a source of healing and regeneration for Black people of all backgrounds and identities. Long overdue and somehow still worth the wait, The Black Joy Project is a necessary addition for any book lover, art enthusiast, or freedom fighter. And begs the question, What does Black Joy mean to you?Old-fashioned on purpose: Cultivating a slower, more joyful life

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER "When I tell you that I dogeared almost every page in this book, I'm telling God's honest…
truth. I didn't know how much I needed someone else to validate what I was going through. The sense that I had lost my curiosity, my imagination, my ability to make meaning." – NPR Morning Edition host Rachel Martin "Such a teacher for every single person who is trying to live closer to who they were born to be and not who the world tamed them to be." – New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle on We Can Do Hard Things "I love Katherine May’s new book, Enchantment .…It’s a beautiful offering of light, truth and charm in these strange, dark times." – New York Times bestselling author Anne Lamott "Katherine May gave so many of us language and vision for the long communal ‘wintering’ of the last years. Welcome this beautiful meditation for the time we've now entered. I cannot imagine a more gracious companion. This book is a gift." – New York Times bestselling author Krista Tippett "Gentle inspiration for those who feel exhausted or helpless… May shows how paying deliberate attention to what’s around us can surprise us with insights and reveal new connections that deepen our appreciation for the world." – Washington Post From the New York Times –bestselling author of Wintering , an invitation to rediscover the feelings of awe and wonder available to us all Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet? Might there be a way for all of us to move through life with curiosity and tenderness, sensitized to the subtle magic all around? In Enchantment , May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. With humor, candor, and warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, and the aftereffects of pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen. Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment. Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its sensual complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us thereSoon: an overdue history of procrastination, from Leonardo and Darwin to you and me

shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health. With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome--a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body--has long been something that the average person can find baffling--and maybe a little bit gross. By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be "renovated" in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one's microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body's response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging. Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj's practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever." -- Provided by publisherFor more than thirty years Elton Miles, a past President of the Texas Folklore Society, has been collecting the stories…

figure in the history of British and American poetry. "I write about love, I write about friendship," remarked Thom Gunn: "I find that they are absolutely intertwined." These core values permeate his correspondence with friends, family, lovers, and fellow poets, and shed new light on "one of the most singular and compelling poets in English during the past half-century" (Hugh Haughton, The Times Literary Supplement). |The Letters of Thom Gunn|, edited by August Kleinzahler, Michael Nott, and Clive Wilmer, reveals the evolution of Gunn's work and illuminates the fascinating life that informed his poems: his struggle to come to terms with his mother's suicide; his changing relationship with his life partner, Mike Kitay; the LSD trips that led to his celebrated collection Moly (1971); and the deaths of friends from AIDS that inspired the powerful, unsparing elegies of The Man with Night Sweats (1992)." -- Provided by publisherHoudini's box: the art of escape

Cruz. Most of the dead were around twenty-five years old and were typical inhabitants of the town, children of modest but traditional families. However, the official list of these suicides was never drawn up. Leila Guerriero traveled to this desolate Patagonian spot, talked to the families and friends of the suicides, walked the same streets and visited every corner of the town. The result is this stark and precise account that not only reconstructs the tragic episodes of those years but also magnificently depicts the daily life of a community far from the big cities. Las Heras, with its wave of unemployment and lack of future for young people, is an enigma whose resolution is far from definitive: suicides, like a dismal destiny, followed one another for a long time. This is a disturbing chronicle that reads with fascination and unveils a reality marked by horror, prejudice and indifference." -- Amazon.comBlack skin, white masks (Get political)
