" Lorsque, le 24 septembre 2009, Nelly Arcan met fin à ses jours, la nouvelle est un choc. La star…
du monde littéraire navait que trente-six ans. Deux mois plus tard, à la parution de son dernier livre, on comprend que cette ode au suicide était prémonitoire. Nelly vivait-elle avec un secret? Nelly Arcan a dabord été connue comme lauteure sulfureuse de Putain et Folle. Célèbre au-delà de nos frontières, elle avait un avenir prometteur. Mais derrière la jolie blonde pulpeuse et provocante se cachait une femme blessée. Ce portrait biographique non autorisé par la famille de Nelly Arcan aborde certaines énigmes de la vie de cet écrivain qui avait tout pour réussir. Nous découvrons la jeune fille de Lac-Mégantic Isabelle Fortier, qui nest jamais parvenue à oublier son enfance. Nous découvrons également la femme, celle qui a séduit les hommes tout comme ses lecteurs, celle qui est devenue le premier sujet de son œuvre. Talentueuse, Nelly Arcan, à coups de provocation et de succès, menée par son ambition et surtout par son furieux désir de se construire une autre vie, ira tout droit vers sa fin tragique.

The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life—distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of…
ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart. Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, Be Useful takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold’s tool kit for a meaningful life. He shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike—some of them famous; some told here for the first time ever. Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he shares that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you—you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you needPar Marie Borrel. 2012
" Notre vie est jalonnée de crises. À quoi servent-elles ? Comment les gérer ? Comment rebondir après l'une d'elles…
et l'optimiser ? Un ouvrage tonique pour prendre son bonheur en main ! " -- 4e de couvPar David Richo. 2018
"Most people think of love as a feeling," says David Richo, "but love is not so much a feeling as…
a way of being present." In this book, Richo offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships—one that focuses not on finding an ideal mate, but on becoming a more loving and realistic person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, How to Be an Adult in Relationships explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life: 1. Attention to the present moment; observing, listening, and noticing all the feelings at play in our relationships. 2. Acceptance of ourselves and others just as we are. 3. Appreciation of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament. 4. Affection shown through holding and touching in respectful ways. 5. Allowing life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control. When deeply understood and applied, these five simple concepts—what Richo calls the five A's—form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A's, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformationPar Jean Désy. 2007
Voici une oeuvre éminemment originale dont le thème dominant est nous-mêmes, ce que nous sommes et qui nous sommes. [...]…
Si Jean Désy peut apporter à la question du sens de nos vies des éléments de réponse aussi lumineux et solides que ceux qu'on pourra lire dans ces pages, c'est qu'ils émanent de la riche expérience du médecin, du poète et du philosophe réunis en lui, et qu'ils refusent la facilité. [...] Je ne saurais mieux conclure cette invitation pressante à lire ce très beau livre que par ces mots de l'auteur: Serait-il possible que même aujourd'hui, rien n'ait changé à propos de l'essentiel, de l'amitié, de l'amour et de l'âme ? J'ai l'intuition qu'au fond du gouffre contemporain règne une éblouissante lumière. - Extrait tiré de la préface de Thomas De Koninck [...]. -- 4e de couvPar John Grogan. 2008
