By Jean Robert. 2018
"Le docteur Robert a mis en place le Département de santé communautaire de l'Hôpital Saint-Luc, qu'il a dirigé durant vingt…
ans. Il a été sollicité au niveau tant national, fédéral qu'international pour partager cette expérience unique. Hélas, l'insidieux appauvrissement du réseau de santé communautaire, pourtant orgueil du Québec dans le monde entier, a finalement mené à la fermeture de son département. Convaincu et tenace, Jean Robert a alors transposé son activité communautaire au sein d'un organisme à but non lucratif, le Centre Sida Amitié, à Saint-Jérôme. Dans Médecin de Rue, il raconte comment il a travaillé à ce grand réseau de médecine pour les plus démunis. Puis, il donne la parole à ceux qu'il considère comme ses véritables professeurs, les patients de la rue. Les témoignages - signés, passionnants et extrêmement touchants - sont entrecoupés des commentaires du docteur Robert sur les différents thèmes abordés. Complétant le tableau, les travailleurs et soignants de son équipe nous livrent aussi leurs témoignages édifiants."How to Die: A Book About Being Alive
By Ray Robertson. 2020
“He who would teach men to die would teach them to live,” writes Montaigne in Essais, and in How to…
Die: A Book on Being Alive, Ray Robertson takes up the challenge. Though contemporary society avoids the subject and often values the mere continuation of existence over its quality, Robertson argues that the active and intentional consideration of death is neither morbid nor frivolous, but instead essential to our ability to fully value life. How to Die is both an absorbing excursion through some of Western literature’s most compelling works on the subject of death as well as an anecdote-driven argument for cultivating a better understanding of death in the belief that, if we do, we’ll know more about what it means to live a meaningful life.Le grand dictionnaire de la métamédecine: chaque symptôme est un message

By Tristan Demers. 2018
Nos enfants auraient-ils perdu les clés de l'imaginaire? Le monde technologique, qui impose la performance et engendre de plus en…
plus d'anxiété, brimerait-il leur liberté de créer? À force de présumer de leurs besoins, de les tenir à tout prix loin de l'ennui, sommes-nous en train de les priver des joies simples de l'enfance? Tristan Demers a rencontré des milliers de jeunes dans le cadre de ses ateliers de dessin. Le constat qu'il fait depuis quelques années est inquiétant: l'imagination des enfants est déficiente. Plus souvent placés dans un état de réceptivité qu'encouragés à la créativité, les jeunes sont décontenancés devant la page blanche et obsédés par le regard des autres sur leurs réalisations. L'imaginaire en déroute remet à l'ordre du jour le besoin qu'ont les humains de jouer, d'imaginer et de se réapproprier leur coeur d'enfant. Voilà un vibrant appel à la créativité retrouvée!One of the most beloved and trusted mindfulness teachers in America offers a lifeline for difficult times: the RAIN meditation,…

By Francesc Miralles, Hector Garcia. 2019
Find happiness by living fully in the present with this definitive guide to ichigo ichiethe Japanese art of making the…
most of every momentfrom the bestselling authors of Ikigai. Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it foreveran idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie (pronounced itchy-GO itchy-A). Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or "ceremony of attention," whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to... appreciate the beauty of the fleeting, the way the Japanese celebrate the cherry blossoms for two weeks every April, knowing they'll have to wait a whole year to see them again; use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present, helping you to let go of fear, sadness, anger, and other negative emotions fueled by fixating on the past or the future; be alert to the magic of coincidences, which help us find meaning among the disconnected events of our lives; use ichigo ichie to help you discover your ikigai, or life's purposebecause it's only by learning to be present, to be tuned into what catches your attention and excites you in the moment, that you can identify what it is that most motivates you and brings you happiness. Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.

By Matthew Walker. 2018
"Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating bookWalker taught me a lot about this basic activity that every person…
on Earth needs. I suspect his book will do the same for you." Bill Gates A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this "stimulating and important book" (Financial Times) is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber. With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh Air's most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. Compared to the other basic drives in lifeeating, drinking, and reproducingthe purpose of sleep remains more elusive. Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity. In this "compelling and utterly convincing" (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity. He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night's sleep every night. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book. Written with the precision of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Sherwin Nuland, it is "recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense" (The New York Times Book Review).One blade of grass: finding the old road of the heart, a zen memoir
By Henry Shukman. 2020

By Jim Davies. 2019
We don't think of imagination the way that we should. The word is often only associated with children, artists, and…
daydreamers-viewed as something separate from everyday adult life. However, imagination is an integral part of almost every action and decision that we make. Simply put, imagination is a person's ability to create scenarios in his or her head: this can include everything from planning a grocery list to honing a golf swing-and even to having religious hallucinations. And while imagination has positive connotations, it can also lead to more pernicious outcomes, including decreased productivity and cooperation and, much worse, the continuous reliving of past trauma. The human brain is remarkable in its ability to imagine?to create worlds and situations outside of its reality. We can use our imaginations to make us relaxed or anxious, and the most impressive feat of human imagination may be our ability to use it in creative endeavors. Sitting in a chair we can imagine what the world might be and construct elaborate plans. With such power, we have an obligation to use it for good. People have been fascinated with the machination of the human brain and its ability to imagine for centuries, but until now, there have been no popular science books that are dedicated to imagination. With chapters ranging from hallucination and imaginary friends to how imagination can make you happier, Imagination will help us explore the full potential of our own mindThe power of heart: when and how to get out of your brain
By Amy Bloch. 2019

Amy tried desperately to "fix" Emily and exhausted herself in her efforts to deal with the "problem" using her intellect, going at it brain-first, the way we tend to approach any challenge in our society. Emily, by default, lives completely heart-first: She simply doesn't have the capabilities to approach life brain-first.

Guided by the journals she's kept since age fifteen, and brimming with her unique humor and down-to-earth humanity, Open Book is as inspiring as it is entertaining. This was supposed to be a very different book. Five years ago, Jessica Simpson was approached to write a motivational guide to living your best life.

A??chicken or fish,A? A??Daisy Duke,A? "football jinx," A??mom jeans,A? A??sexual napalmA?¦A? and more.
