meet new people, do you often forget their names-as soon as they leave the room? Don't panic! Just because you can't remember doesn't mean you're losing your mind-or even your memory. It's more likely that stress and information overload are making it harder for you to get information into your head in the first place. No matter what age we are, the way we remember things is a process: understand and pay more attention to the steps of the process, and your memory will improve. 2007.By Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow. 2008

Notre société a peur de la mort. Elle la fuit, la rejette, l'aseptise et se hâte de la vivre lorsqu'elle…
croise son chemin. Elle est pourtant une étape incontournable que nous allons tous traverser. Et surtout, elle peut être riche d'enseignement, car la vie et la mort sont deux notions inséparables. Pour Hélène Giroux, accepter et côtoyer cette dimension mystérieuse du parcours humain lui permet de développer un regard différent sur la vie. Devenue accompagnatrice auprès des mourants, elle réalise rapidement que la mort peut être une formidable école de vie et un puissant appel à vivre plus consciemment. Depuis, les moments qu'elle passe auprès des gens en fin de vie sont, à ce jour, ses instants les plus nourrissants dans sa quête de bonheur et du sens de l'existence. Ces mourants qu'elle accompagne lui transmettent, sans même sans rendre compte, de précieuses leçons de vie, tels l'importance du moment présent, la résilience, la compassion, l'unicité, l'espoir, le don de soi et l'amour, pour n'en nommer que quelques-unes. Elle nous les partage à travers cet ouvrage, en souhaitant qu'elles puissent nous inspirer dans notre quête du bonheur et de la sérénité. 2015.By Marguerite. 1980
